(Reuters) - Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said on Tuesday that he was proud of Marcus Rashford's charity initiatives, as he clarified his comments on the England international forward needing to "prioritise his football".

Rashford earned widespread praise for his efforts to end child food poverty during the COVID-19 pandemic and earlier this month became the youngest recipient of an honorary doctorate from the University of Manchester.
