An eight-year-old piano-playing fundraiser from Leeds has been called a 'little superstar' by Manchester United football Marcus Rashford.

Lennie Street, who is from Morley, has cerebral palsy and hydrocephalus.

In May he hit his target of fundraising for his special school after delighting his online followers with scores of piano tunes chosen by those who donate.

Now, Lennie, who has mastered everything from Beethoven to Justin Bieber and Stevie Wonder has impressed Rashford.

Lennie tweeted his 'tune of the day' to Rashford who replied 'What a little superstar, this really made me smile Lennie thank you'.

Rashford, 22, recently made headlines off the pitch after successfully lobbying the government for a u-turn on free school meals.
