Marcus Rashford is understood to be deeply disappointed by Education Secretary Gavin Williamson’s response to his plea for help to tackle child poverty.
Details of a letter from Williamson to the England forward — responding to the player’s heartfelt request to deal with a crisis affecting millions of impoverished British children — are to be revealed by the BBC on Saturday.
Sportsmail understands that Rashford feels a lack of empathy falls way short of what he had hoped for. The BBC would not disclose the details of the Williamson letter ahead of Saturday's broadcast.
