Valued at £145 initially, the sentimental worth of the gifted shoes has made them priceless to Rashford.
Rashford, a fervent admirer of Ronaldo, revealed to Sneaker Shopping that the shoes have never adorned his feet due to their sentimental value.
He expressed his reluctance to wear them, fearing any damage that could mar their significance, stating, “No one can touch them!… If I messed them up, then I don’t know what I’d do to myself.”
