Manchester United star Marcus Rashford has become the youngest person ever to receive an honorary doctorate from the University of Manchester - for his work to tackle child poverty. But he says it's "bittersweet", after the £20 top-up to universal credit ended. Removing the temporary increase, he says, "could see child poverty rise to one-in-three children", and he's calling for an end to what he says is a "child hunger pandemic". The government says the top-up was designed to help in the pandemic's toughest times. For 5 Minutes On, BBC Breakfast's Sally Nugent speaks exclusively to Marcus Rashford. Image Credit: BBC News
