Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford is the second most-abused sportsperson in the world according to a new study.
The 24-year-old is one of England's most famous athletes and received an MBE for his campaigning against child food poverty late last year.
Rashford is vocal when it comes to social issues, with trolls attacking him for not 'focusing' on his football.

He missed a penalty in last summer's Euro 2020 final shootout defeat to Italy and was targeted with racial abuse, as were teammates Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka.
A new survey from Pickwise has analysed every tweet sent to sports stars worldwide and it's concluded Rashford has been trolled 32,328 times in a year.
Only NBA titan LeBron James has been abused more than Rashford on social media, with his number sitting at a staggering 122,568.

Rashford attempted to confront a heckler in the aftermath of United's elimination from the Champions League in midweek.
Following Tuesday's 1-0 defeat to Atletico Madrid, Rashford was shouted at as he left Old Trafford.
He turned around and walked towards them before being ushered away by stewards.
Rashford apologised for the incident on social media, but denied making an obscene gesture with his hand.
