The English star Marcus Rashford has lost his lawsuit against an Egyptian youth, because the young man made offensive statements to the player online.
Egyptian media reported that the Mansoura Economic Misdemeanors Court in Dakahlia Governorate ruled today, Thursday, not accepting the Manchester United player’s lawsuit against a student residing in the Abu Hammad Center in Sharkia Governorate, and obligated the player to pay 75 pounds for attorney fees (about $3).
"Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds, the court today ruled that I am completely innocent of the Marcus Rashford case, the Manchester United player," Egyptian student Mohamed Essam said on his Facebook page, thanking the counselor who supported him in the case.
Issam's lawyer said, "We will demand compensation because the student was exposed to a bad psychological condition that affected his results in college."
About 6 months ago, the English international had appointed a lawyer in Sharkia Governorate, northern Egypt (the place of residence of the Egyptian student), and the lawyer filed a misdemeanour lawsuit accusing one of the sons of his province of defaming his client, and directing offensive phrases that carried a racist character through a social media platform.
Activists interacted with Essam after his innocence by the court's decision, calling for a new case to be filed against Rashford to compensate him after defaming him.
The case of the Egyptian youth also received a wide interaction from the Egyptian tweeters on Twitter, where activists mocked the amount that the court decided against Rashford instead of attorney fees.
One of the tweeters wrote, "Since I learned the news that Rashford sent a team of 10 lawyers to Egypt to file a case against a student. The news was very funny at the time, and the most funny thing is that the player lost the case and was obliged to pay 75 pounds in expenses," while another said, "Leave his loss." case and imagine that his attorney's fees cost him perhaps £3.75."
In another comment, a tweeter responded to the court's decision, "After the Rashford case against a citizen of Abu Hammad, I can say that I have seen everything in the world, and there is nothing else that will make me wonder again."
For a while I knew the news that Rashford had sold a team of 10 lawyers to Egypt to sue a student who had stigmatized him on Facebook.. The news was very funny, God..
The funny thing is that Rashford lost the case and was obliged to pay 75 pounds in expenses 😂😂😂

Rashford entered himself into conflicts that he did not lead with Muhammad Essam and Mr. Salama
