Marcus Rashford is a Manchester United and England professional football player.
I chose to write about Marcus Rashford as I think he is a great role model and a
great inspiration to people who also want to become a professional football player
just like him. So why is he so inspirational? Let me give you some facts:
- He was voted third for the English FWA Footballer of the Year award.
- Marcus has also won the FA cup and the carabao cup.
- Outside of the world of football: - Rashford is a campaigner against racism, homelessness and child hunger in the uk.
To me Marcus represents what football was originally about. Football is an all inclusive game where anyone can join in. Marcus didn’t have the money that some other people had growing up and because of this he has inspired others to achieve their goals no matter their background.
In the 22/23 season Marcus netted 17 goals and 5 assists and led his Manchester United team to finish 3rd in the premier league and secure a Champions league spot.
He also netted 17 goals and 7 assists in the 19/20 season.
Marcus has gone through the highs and lows on and off the pitch from missing the penalty in the euros to campaigning against racism but it never stopped him from being himself.
