Mason Greenwood probably doesn’t have to go far to follow a good example, because even at Man Utd, there is already an exemplary player in terms of lifestyle.
Yesterday, the homepage of the Man Utd club posted on the team’s website proud of the trophy that Marcus Rashford has. This is not a trophy or award related to performance on the football field. It is an award by the British professional footballers’ association in recognition of the player’s contributions to helping disadvantaged children especially during the COVID-19 outbreak.
Regarding his charitable cause, Rashford once shared: “I think this is a time when many people are very vulnerable. And they are waiting for help. The players of our generation should do the best. It’s like when you’re a kid sitting in a school chair and waiting for help from your teacher when you’re having trouble with math or English. You can always hope. wait for help and we’ll do it.”
The award that Marcus Rashford has is completely deserved. It is the result of a long process of dedication to the social activities that Rashford has participated in. The 23-year-old has received an honorary award from the University of Manchester for taking part in a campaign to help disadvantaged children. The UK has also spoken out to convince the British government to provide free meals to the poor, who are vulnerable when the COVID-19 epidemic hits.
And the Man Utd player is highly appreciated for actively learning the language of the deaf during an exchange with babies with birth defects. Along with his impressive achievements on the football field, Rashford’s humane social activities are an admirable example for young players to follow.
