Marcus Rashford's crusade to help feed Manchester's young has now passed the £20m mark… the little lad from a tough suburb is using his fame to help thousands of families during the coronavirus lockdown

More than most footballers, Marcus Rashford could have been forgiven for using the coronavirus lockdown to focus on himself.

He could have concentrated solely on his rehabilitation from a double back fracture – the first serious injury of his career – that threatened to end his season at Manchester United and potentially his involvement for England in Euro 2020 before both were put on hold.

The global pandemic has given Rashford time he could never have expected for the injury to heal and for him to regain the fitness lost since he last played against Wolves in the FA Cup on January 15.
