A City United: Both Manchester clubs to donate a combined £100,000 to help food banks cope during the coronavirus pandemic

Manchester United and Manchester City are making a combined £100,000 donation to help food banks cope with the extra demand caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

Both clubs are giving £50,000 to the Trussell Trust, which supports a network of 1,200 food bank centres, so capacity can be increased for vulnerable people affected by the crisis.

It will help make up for the temporary loss of food donations on match days while Premier League games are suspended until April 30 at the earliest.
