“Oh, no,” groans Marcus Rashford with a huge smile. “I just knew you would bring that up.”
Over a Zoom call with Manchester United and England s celebrated anti-child poverty activist and his new wingman, Michelin-starred chef and restaurateur Tom Kerridge,
GQ couldn t resist reminding Rashford of the last time we met him, when he gave us a demonstration of his incredible ball skills. Specifically, meatballs.
It was at Marcus old school, Button Lane Primary in Wythenshawe and Jack Monroe was giving him a cooking lesson before handing over his
GQ Man Of The Year Campaigner Award. That must have been where he developed a grown-up taste for home cooking, I joke. Rashford laughs and Tom confirms that the young footballer has already shown he has a few skills in his locker.
