Rashford spoke with Vogue on the reasons for his philanthropic activities.
He stated, “I’m not a politician, but I do have a voice and a platform from which to pose questions.
“If I didn’t put myself out there and say, ‘This is not OK and it needs to change,’ I would have failed my 10-year-old self.”
He went on to say, “As an athlete, failure is a part of everyday life.
“When you lose a game, you get back up and play the next.
“You lose in a cup final, you come back stronger next season.”
