And United revealed a new twist on their No10 kit by showing a jersey with the name printed as ‘Dr Rashford MBE’ on the seats at Old Trafford.

It’s the latest award given to fan favorite Rashford after he was made an MBE 12 months ago for his battle in extending free school meals during the coronavirus pandemic.

Accepting his award in front of Sir Alex Ferguson at the Theatre of Dreams, Rashford beamed: “To be here in the presence of a great person such as Sir Alex, and those who have played a huge role in my journey to be where I am today, is special.

“I’m here to receive my Honorary Doctorate for my work around child poverty.”

Manchester University’s President and Vice-Chancellor, Professor Dame Nancy Rothwell, said: “Marcus is an exceptional young man who continues to demonstrate a sense of community and generosity that goes well beyond his years.
