Jon Snow enjoys chatting with Marcus Rashford

Manchester United and England player Marcus Rashford was interviewed by Channel 4’s Jon Snow on its Monday’s 7pm News.


Rashford spoke about his poverty-stricken childhood and the wonder of his mother. It was brilliant television.


He played a major role in making sure school-going children in England would receive lunches every day.


It was clear Jon Snow was enjoying every moment of talking with this wonderful young man. Snow pointed out that there was 50 years between them, Rashford is 23 and Snow 73.


Snow asked him what he planned to do after football. He gave that lovely and truthful answer that he simply did not know but he insisted that he would not become a politician, clearly saying that was not where his talents lay.


He said that he managed to get out of poverty through football and then getting to see places and meet people that changed his life.


Rashford has set a record in last Sunday Times Giving List, becoming the youngest person to come   out on top.


The interview is available on the All 4 app.


Great television and Rashford comes across as a genuine lovely young man, an inspiring human being.
