Manchester United great Patrice Evra makes NHS pledge

Manchester United great Patrice Evra has pledged to match £250,000 worth of donations to help support frontline National Health Service workers in the United Kingdom.

The former Man Utd defender is hoping to raise £500,000 to fund meals for NHS workers and has partnered with Lineage, a food storage company, who have a goal of donating 100 million meals worldwide to people who are in need during Covid-19.

Evra decided to get involved with the project, which will see the former left-back and Lineage match donations up to £250,000, after having conversations with staff at two hospitals.
