Beats by Dr. Dre has partnered with artist Reuben Dangoor and Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford for a mural. The company was founded by the music producer Dr. Dre and record executive Jimmy Lavine.
The painting is located in Shudehill and was created in response to the harsh criticism and online abuse the player faces. The artwork features Rashford with his eyes closed and beats in his ear, blocking out the world and outside critics.
In the visual, you can see negative and positive social media messages behind Rashford. The words "Form is temporary class is permanent" are written in large white letters on this noticeable mural.
Beats is hoping this message can change the actions of fans who don't see professional players as humans who are capable of making mistakes.
