The issue is that with schools closed to many children as a result of the pandemic, the most vulnerable kids are no longer getting the meals they would otherwise have had. Are you seriously suggesting it is not the job of government to ensure that children in poverty don't go hungry!?

Go read any scouse forum and you'll see the same snide "doing it for the PR" about Sterling as I'm reading in this thread.
Speaks volumes.

It’s not snide, Billy. Just an opinion which has some merit due to Neil Ashton being the worst type of PR manager around.Go read any scouse forum and you'll see the same snide "doing it for the PR" about Sterling as I'm reading in this thread.

If the message achieves its aim then everyone wins.
Indeed. He deserves great credit for what he's doing.Not sure it matters who wrote it.
Great work Marcus.

The two sides of the argument can both be true you know.They are not mutually exclusive.
I am sure he is a fine lad, and does as much if not more than other players for great causes , and i applaud him for that.
Manchester United have one of the most successful PR policies in the World and they use it to build a brand. The players are part of this machine. Ighalo is a PR monster in his home Country, Pereira (who) has millions of followers on some media thingy. All these profiles are cogs in a massive machine, the more followers , the more they can ask for in sponsorship.
It is a reality, but I would not criticize the lad himself.
As a footballer, I must agree with @Pablo1 , a straight line speed merchant.
As to the poster who hopes he will play for City one day, speechless.
Jesus gets pelters for scoring a goal every two games.

It has nothing to do with the pandemic. he is asking for schools to provide free meals during the summer holidays.
As already stated and I note you did not answer, if they already provide free breakfast and now lunch what about tea (dinner for the posh ones) Why is it the schools responsibility to feed children ? who pays for the staff to go in during the holidays ?
If a child is not being fed at breakfast and lunch perhaps it is Social Services not schools that should be stepping in.
This is just a silly publicity stunt by his PR team.
Also where does it stop ? perhaps the schools should clothe the kids all funded off course by the Government, (by that I mean us)

I think Rashford and Vinny with his homeless campaign have both been a credit to the City of Manchester. I also think Raheem has been a fantastic role model for the whole country. I am not as cynical as others and think it's refreshing that more players are speaking out in public and trying to improve things in their own communities. I don't care if they have been helped by PR experts either.

Completely altruistic. He'll be knackered after lockdown this modern day saint.
