Man Utd star Rashford given award for charity work

Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford has been presented with a Special Recognition award from the high sheriff of Greater Manchester because of his work with charity.

The 22-year-old has been enjoying the best form of his fledgling career on the field, scoring 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 ($25m) for FareShare, a charity that seeks to reduce hunger and limit food wastage.
