Parents and family

Marcus Rashford MBE was born on the 31st day of October 1997 to his father, Robert Rashford and mother, Melanie Maynard, in Wythenshawe.

Robert and Melanie Rashford have been together for quite a while now.

They are known for being the parents of Manchester United and English talented forward, Marcus Rashford.

He’s previously opened up about how his mum helped his career by pushing for him to be signed up to Manchester United’s academy before he was 12.

“It basically gives you accommodation closer to the training facilities and a new school and she worked that hard to push it forward because she knew that was a step I needed to take,” he said.

“I needed to be eating the right food as I was growing, I needed to be close to my team-mates, my new school and my new school friends.”

Rashford has also described how his mum would do their weekly food shop at Pound World, in order to ration food supplies over seven days.

“That was the reason I ended up going [to Man Utd] at a younger age to the others, it was to help my mum with her situation and also get me out of the situation we were in,” he added.

Rashford’s parents divorced while he was a small child, leaving Melanie to care for Marcus and his siblings Dane Rashford and Dwaine Maynard.

Marcus Rashford was born on 31 October 1997 in Manchester, and raised in the Fallowfield, Withington, and Wythenshawe areas of the city. He is of paternal Jamaican descent, and maternal Kittitian descent, with his grandmother being born on the West Indies island of Saint Kitts. Rashford comes from a working class family; his mother is Melanie Maynard, a single parent who often had to work multiple jobs to feed their family, sometimes skipping meals herself to ensure Rashford and his siblings ate. He has four older siblings: two brothers, Dwaine Maynard and Dane Rashford, both of whom went on to represent him professionally, and two sisters, Chantelle and Claire. He is a cousin of fellow footballer Lois Maynard, who currently plays as a midfielder for Oldham Athletic.
