"Look Rashy, I am telling you, I am your father, okay, this thing has been going on for too long, but I keep quiet.

“You can say what you want to say about Melanie. I respect Melanie very much and I respect the husband very much but I have to tell you the truth because if I don't tell you the truth in future, you, your children and your great great grandchildren will be lost.

“So, I am doing this not because of money but because it is you I want. I am getting very angry but because of you and the respect I have for you, I keep my mouth shut but I am your father. You can come to me anytime you want, my hands are open”

The Ghanaian man who goes by the name Michael Boye-Marquaye has also called for Rashford to come to him anytime he wants, saying his hands are open to receive him.

Twitter has been buzzing with so many comments and reactions towards the recent claim of a Ghanaian UK base saying he is the biological father of Marcus Rashford.
