Rashford joins a high-calibre roster of talent on the agency, with Kevin De Bruyne, Tyrone Mings, Reece James and Romelu Lukaku all already signed to Jay-Z's company.

"We look for those figures who stand for something beyond just the sport that they play," said Kelly Hogarth, the director of brand strategy and business communications, who represents Rashford.

"What he did transcended race, transcended any social unrest that we're experiencing. This was a 22-year-old young man who was saying: 'No child should be going hungry in this country. That is unacceptable."

"And even if you were the meanest person in the world, it was an argument you just couldn't fight against. He was able to resonate with so many people by just being himself."
