โ€˜Marcus Gnashfordโ€™ โ€“ Baby beaver named after Manchester United star

There is only one 'Marcus Gnashford'!

There has been a outpouring of love for Marcus rashford after his missed penalty in the Euro 2020 finale, which resulted in a torrent of racist abuse online targeting him and his England teammates, Jadon sancho and Bukayo Saka.

In the midst of all this, a baby beaver is named after the United manchester go ahead after a vote on social media.

For the first time in 400 years, a baby beaver has been born on Exmoor, the National Trust's Holnicote estate.

To mark that historic occasion, the conservation charity opened an online vote, with thousands of people voting in favor of naming the newborn team as the player.

As it turned out, 'Gnashford' received half the votes ahead of Banksy and two other suggestions.

National Trust Holnicote project manager Ben Eardley said: โ€œBeavers are doing a lot of what we want to see in terms of conservation and land management.

"They are letting light and water into the site, which helps natural processes and provides opportunities for a large number of wildlife."

And it's exactly that kind of self-denial that has made the real Rashford a favorite at Old Trafford and beyond.
