Liverpool full-back Andy Robertson says Marcus Rashford could "be the first Manchester United player to get a standing ovation" at Anfield for his free school meals campaign.
Rashford, 22, campaigned for the government to allow about 1.3 million children to claim free school meal vouchers in England's summer holidays.
"What he's done was amazing, outstanding," Robertson told the Times.
During the coronavirus lockdown the government provided vouchers to families whose children qualify for free meals, but it had insisted this would not continue into the summer holidays.
This prompted England international Rashford to write an open letter to MPs, drawing on his own experiences of relying on free school meals and food banks growing up in Wythenshawe, Manchester.
