Rashford takes on UK government and wins!

Marcus Rashford is more Manchester United than Manchester United. 

The club has been suffering an identity crisis ever since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson but now Rashford has shown what it takes to be a true United man and how humanity should ideally survive. 

The England international has been campaigning to make free food available for the poor children in multiple ways and his latest petition was against the UK Government itself to make free food available for them over summer. 

He had written: “1. When you wake up this morning and run your shower, take a second to think about parents who have had their water turned off during lockdown #maketheuturn.

“2. When you turn on your kettle to make a cup of tea or coffee think of those parents who have had to default on electricity bill payments just to make ends meet having lost their jobs during the pandemic #maketheuturn.

“3. And when you head to the fridge to grab the milk, stop and recognise that parents of at least 200,000 children across the country this morning are waking up to empty shelving.

“4. Recognise children around the country are this morning innocently questioning ‘why?’ 9 out of 30 children in any given classroom are today asking ‘why?’ ‘Why does our future not matter?’ #maketheuturn.”

And on Thursday, the UK PM’s office finally responded:

“Owing to the coronavirus pandemic the Prime Minister fully understands that children and parents face an entirely unprecedented situation over the summer.

“To reflect this we will be providing a Covid summer food fund, this will provide food vouchers over the six-week summer holiday period. This is a specific measure to reflect the unique circumstances of the pandemic. The scheme will not continue beyond the summer.”

Perhaps, the biggest goal Marcus has scored till date.
