Marcus Rashford is celebrating success after convincing the UK Government to perform a U-turn and give free school meals to kids over the summer holidays.
Rashford had been campaigning on behalf of families in need of support, having experienced it himself growing up.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced today that a one-off fund would allow families a voucher to spend over the summer holidays, The Guardian report.
Rashford was understandably delighted to see his campaign pay off, and sent a message of thanks to all those who had supported him and the cause.
Rashford has emerged through this as not just a great ambassador for Manchester United, but for English football, and the nation itself.
The Evening Standard report that Rashford has become one of the favourites to win the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award.
And that is before he even renews his season with United on Friday, and looks to carry on his superb 19-goal season.
We are all proud of Rashford, who at just 22, has so much more to give, both on and off the pitch, over the years ahead.
