Twitter reacts as Marcus Rashford gives an update on brilliant initiative
Manchester United ace Marcus Rashford has taken to Twitter to provide an update on the progress made by Fare Share UK.
The initiative will now supply 3.9 million meals to vulnerable people all across the country. At a time like this, the effect the initiative will have on a number of people cannot be undermined.
He also went on to add that 150 new food businesses have signed up to donate food or divert surplus food.
The 22-year-old initially set a goal of raising £100,000 and feeding 400,000 children after partnering with the charity back in April. They have since vastly surpassed that target, with over £20m raised. (h/t Standard)
A hero on the pitch, the English international has shown he is a hero off he field as well. Rashford’s initiative will help a number of people all across the country.
Amidst the challenges faced on a daily basis, the fact that they now don’t have to worry about where their next meal will come from is a welcome sign.
A number of fans took to Twitter to give their views on the news. We take a look at a few of them below.

You should be very proud of yourself mate. You have literally changed some many peoples lives for the better and the most humbling thing is you take it with a pinch of salt.
