Acoring 14 times in 22 Premier League outings for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side and netting 19 in 31 matches overall.

But it is for his work raising money for local communities that he has been honoured.

Rashford has been putting his recent spare time to good use, raising nearly £20 million for FareShare.

A charity that seeks to reduce hunger and limit food wastage and he had initially targeted £100,000 worth of donations.

His efforts caught the attention of Eamonn O’Neal, the high sheriff of Greater Manchester, who sent the England ace a certificate in appreciation of his works.

Posting on Twitter, Rashford said;

“Wouldn’t normally share these types of things but this certificate is not just for me, it belongs to you all.

“Each and every one of you that has contributed the few pounds you can.

“You’ve all made a huge difference, 2.8 million children a week are receiving meals they otherwise wouldn’t have during this lockdown because of your help.

“From being young I knew that if I ever got in a position that I could help I would and I’m so proud of what we’ve achieved so far.

“Thank you all, you’re all superstars. And we won’t stop until children and their parents no longer have to worry about where their next meal is coming from.

“I appreciate you all, thank you to the High Sheriff of Greater Manchester.”

Meanwhile, Rashford is expected to be on the pitch when the Premier League resumes following football break due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Manager Solskjaer has indicated that both he and midfielder Paul Pogba have shaken off knocks and are training well.

With hopes of the resumption of play, which is hoped to arrive in the middle part of June.
