This award is the most prestigious award the university can offer, and the 23-year-old English striker became the youngest winner in the history of the University of Manchester.
This allowed Rashford to join forces with Manchester United legends Sir Alex Ferguson and Sir Bobby Charlton, who have also received such recognition from the League in the past.
“It is a special feeling to be here in the presence of great people like Sir Alex and those who have played such a big part in making me who I am today.” Rashford said.
“Because of my work for poor children, I can be here today. Yesterday, millions of families in the UK lost their life belt and the means to stay on their feet. This could lead to one in three children going hungry. This is why today is so bitter for me “ he added.
“It is time for MPs to visit places like where you left. It is time to experience the true standard of fighting firsthand. Covid19 can no longer be an excuse.”
