The 74-year-old was driving home from babysitting her granddaughter when she collided with the striker, 25.
Rashford's £700,000 Rolls Royce was wrecked in the horror near Carrington on Saturday following the club's 1-0 win over Burnley.
He stopped to help the woman along with club captain Bruno Fernandes, who had seen his teammate's wrecked motor.

Her three children were understood to be arranging a hospital check-up, while Rashford was excused from training.
A source said: “The woman was on her way home from babysitting her grand-daughter. She’s a cautious, careful driver and even more so when it’s raining — which it was.
“The impact caused the airbags to go off. She was very, very shaken and confused. She’s not a football fan and didn’t have any idea who Marcus Rashford is.”
Police breathalysed both drivers.
