Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford says Sir Bobby Charlton was a great inspiration for the club's young players.

Rashford admits academy players always looked to Charlton as an example.

The club great passed away last week and Rashford told United Review: "Ever since I was a kid, he was on the walls here.

"He's a massive part of United's history for everything he achieved, and he was a great person as well.

"Honestly, he was just a massive inspiration to so many of our players. It didn't matter what position you played, he was always someone who you could look up to because of the way he carried himself. And that was right until the final moment.

"He was a great, great person, and his passing is very sad."
