Manchester United have paid tribute to Marcus Rashford following the striker's successful battle to keep the school meal voucher scheme going though the summer break.
An official message from the Red Devils on Twitter reads: "A hero. An inspiration. One of our own. We are so proud of you, Marcus Rashford."
On Tuesday, the United Kingdom government confirmed that school children will now receive food vouchers for six more weeks amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
Reacting to the news, the Englishman said: "I don't even know what to say. Just look at what we can do when we come together, this is England in 2020. This was never about me or you [MPs], this was never about politics.
"This was a cry out for help from vulnerable parents all over the country. I simply provided a platform for their voices to be heard. I stand proud today knowing that we have listened, and we have done what is right.
"There is still a long way to go but I am thankful to you all that we have given these families just one less thing to worry about tonight. The well-being of our children should always be a priority."
