Coach Solskjaer praised Rashford

No one can deny Marcus Rashford’s talent. Although the 2020-2021 season has only passed 3 months, the English striker has “pocketed” 10 goals and 5 assists in 19 matches with Manchester United. Previously, he made a major contribution to helping the Red Devils finish third in the Premier League rankings and reach the Europa League semi-finals in the 2019-2020 season.

Off the field, Marcus Rashford also left a lot of impression. The 23-year-old man is the one who initiated the campaign to provide free meals to children amid the COVID-19 pandemic. His call was responded to by Prime Minister Boris Johnson and sponsors in the foggy country.

One of the reasons why he decided to carry out this campaign was empathy. In the past, Marcus Rashford’s family also went through such a time. Recently, Melanie Maynard, mother of the striker currently playing for Manchester United, also shared her story. On the Evening Standard, Ms. Melanie recounted:

“I worked 3 jobs at the same time. If we didn’t work hard to make money, we wouldn’t be able to cook a pot of food. So, Rashford told his own story. What Rashford said comes from from the bottom of my heart. Many times, I feel so sorry for myself, I just want to give my food to the children. Sometimes we don’t even have a loaf of bread in the house. It’s embarrassing to say that, but That’s the truth.”
