According to the report on GOAL and Evening News, Marcus Rashford has ruled out the chance to become a politician claiming that it is far from what he wants.
"Yeah I probably can rule out being a politician because it's not something I grew up wanting to do.
"My mind's not on that really but it was great speaking to him Obama and I've enjoyed speaking to people like that, learning from them and taking what I can from the stories that they tell me. It's something I will always remember.
"Cristiano is an unbelievable player and it almost becomes normal when he defies the odds now, it’s just the way his career has been from the beginning, and it will be a great experience to play against him.''
