Marcus Rashford ‘is a top human being’ says Solskjaer
Marcus Rashford has been a key player for Manchester United in their bid to finish in the Premier League's top four. However, the Red Devils suffered a recent setback after the 2-2 draw with Southampton.
Rashford, though, has enjoyed a fine campaign in United’s attack, scoring 21 goals in all competitions.
But it’s his work off the pitch that has made the headlines in recent weeks.
The 22-year-old succeeded in his campaign to have the government extend the children's food voucher scheme into the summer holidays.
He wrote an open letter to MPs this week calling for a U-turn on free school meals in England - for which nearly 1.3 million children are eligible - outside of term time.

Reacting to the news, Rashford wrote on Twitter: “I don't even know what to say.
“Just look at what we can do when we come together, THIS is England in 2020.”
He added: “To all MPs. This was never about me or you, this was never about politics, this was a cry out for help from vulnerable parents all over the country and I simply provided a platform for their voices to be heard.
"I stand proud today knowing that we have listened, and we have done what is right.
