Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford has received a special recognition award in honour of the charity work amid the coronavirus crisis.The 22-year-old has been heavily involved in the community, and has helped raise close to £20million for FareShare, a charity which helps fight hunger and food waste.As a reward for his work, the High Sheriff of Greater Manchester, Eamonn O'Neal, sent Rashford a special certificate, which the England international shared on social media.

Rashford posted a picture of the certificate on Twitter along with the message: "Wouldn’t normally share these types of things but this certificate is not just for me, it belongs to you all. Each and every one of you that has contributed the few £s you can, you’ve all made a huge difference. "2.8million children a week are receiving meals they otherwise wouldn’t have during this lockdown because of YOUR help. I couldn’t have done any of this without the help of you all and @fareshare "To be recognised by my city is a great feeling. From being young I knew that if I ever got in a position that I could help I would and I’m so proud of what we’ve achieved so far. Thank you all, you’re all superstars.
