And having helped to raise an astonishing £20million for the project, kind-hearted Rashford has continued his good work this morning.

The 22-year-old swapped his football boots for a PE kit as he guided kids through a number of stretches, showing them how to get ready for their big match.

Rashford will have had them in awe at first, as he spoke a little about his experiences getting into football while standing in front of his England caps and an assortment of awards.

He then moved into his personal gym area, beginning with a hamstring exercise before moving onto the groin area.

Kids across the nation were then put through their paces with a circuit of exercises, beginning with press-ups and sit-ups, before moving onto jumping jacks.

The circuit was complete after leg balancing, hopping and lunges.

Having completed his first day as a celebrity supply teacher, Rashford then shared some of the heartwarming responses to his exercise routine for children.

One happy parent wrote: “@MarcusRashford My two are hooked on your every word and move. Thank you!”

While another added: “Top stuff @MarcusRashford Jamie loved the #CelebritySupplyTeacher this morning. He was fascinated with your cupboard under the stairs”.

Another was glad to get their child off their games console: “@MarcusRashford Marcus getting Evan off fortnite this morning thanks Marcus”.

One exercise was particularly popular in one household: “@MarcusRashford Loving the jumping jacks”.

Marcus himself seemed to enjoy his foray into teaching, and vowed to get the video up on his website for people to be able to use at their leisure.

He posted: “I’m going to get the class up on my website so the kids can pause it and work through it at a pace they want. Will let you all know as soon as it’s up hope the kids enjoyed it this morning”.
