It’s important to talk about the incredible work that Marcus Rashford keeps doing against child poverty in England and the people’s response. 

We urge you to go and take a look at Marcus Rashford’s timeline on Twitter so you can see his progress in the fight against child poverty. What the England international has achieved is simply inspiring and deeply moving. The British Parliament denied a reform that the player was pushing to get millions of children fed in the UK during these troubling times throughout the winter.

Instead of giving up on his fight, the Manchester United player saw a reaction from the people that he probably wasn’t expecting. The main problem he’s fighting against at the moment is the British Parliament’s refusal to provide lunch for children at school during half term. As the people began realizing his initiative, they decided to act on their own.

Businesses of all kinds throughout the country began to announce their plans to help the cause. The player himself decided to take matters into his own hands and call on the people to aid nearly 1.5 million children who won’t get this benefit from the British Government. He is using his platforms to share the movement he created and making people aware of the solidarity that still exists in the world today. 

Rashford also keeps his job on point. 

One would think that all this charity work would keep any player from focusing on his actual job as a professional footballer. But Marcus Rashford seems to be a superhero through and through. The youngster still makes time from his day to go to practice and score Champions League winners against clubs as massive as Paris Saint-Germain.

Rashford made the headlines this week for all the right reasons both on and off the pitch. He will have a new opportunity to keep proving he can do it all on Saturday as Manchester United receives Chelsea’s visit. Marcus Rashford is an inspiration to all, he truly is making the change we all expect from footballers who have a voice to speak for the ones who can’t. From the whole Ace Sports Group team, we salute Marcus Rashford for all his work.
