Manchester United and England forward Marcus Rashford will receive an honorary doctorate from The University of Manchester later this summer.

The award, which is the highest honour the university can bestow, will be "for his remarkable campaign against child poverty off the field and outstanding sporting achievements on the pitch".

At 22, Rashford will be the youngest ever recipient of an honorary degree from the university and joins Sir Alex Ferguson and Sir Bobby Charlton on the list of those who have have received one.

Won't be long before we see team sheet with Sir Marcus Rashford.

Andy Murray is the youngest person to be knighted in Britain at the age of 29.

if Marcus keeps up his amazing passion for his cause in the years to come, I see a knighthood in the future for him.

Not happy about this... He should be focusing on his football instead of receiving honorary doctorate that probably won't take up any of his time and if it does will be in his spare time after training. Disgraceful.

Glad to have him at the club, especially when he came throught he ranks as well. Terrific role model on and off the pitch for the next generation, getting the headlines for all the right reasons, couldn't be happier for him.

Does that mean we have to call him Dr. Rashford from now on?

Also, this must be a first for football.

So is he actually technically a Doctor?

Because I would like to annoy people by forever referring to him as Dr Rashford

If he doesn’t demand that referees refer to him as doctor then his doctorate is wasted on him.

Very well deserved.

Who’d have thought sacking off college and University could get you a doctorate faster than attending class.
