Rashford: This tribute has really touched me
On Saturday, we published Academy coach Tony Whelan’s account of watching Marcus Rashford rise through the United ranks, from his early years as a gifted eight-year-old to his modern-day exploits as a prolific goalscorer on the field and an equally active humanitarian off it.
Tony saluted the youngster’s astonishing feat of making it onto the cover of TIME magazine, a world-famous publication he regularly read in his earlier years. On Sunday, Marcus tweeted back a tribute to Tony and everyone who had helped him on his journey so far, saying: “This really touched me. That TIME cover was not just mine it belonged to all of you. Thank you.”
