Read our privacy policy Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford has revealed the FareShare charity he has teamed up with has raised more than £20m to feed vulnerable children. “It's done a lot better than what we thought and what it actually started off with,” Rashford told the Manchester United Podcast. “It got to a stage where we actually had a lot of donations, more than we expected, and we were struggling to actually deliver the food to people, so that's where the bigger companies like Tesco, Co-op, Asda, they've come in and helped us massively with deliveries on that side of things and also put in their own large donations as well. “Just two or three days ago it reached £20m.” The 22-year-old also explained where his desire to help vulnerable children stems from, given it would have been himself needing the donations during his childhood as his family relied on school dinners.
