Some people on here do not have the will to look past which team he plays for and accept he has used his fame for good In this instance.
There are some like that, but others focus on how his PR team have manipulated the narrative, to put Rashford front and centre, and for all the credit to be channeled towards him, to the extent he's now received the MBE.
If you look back, the original idea and campaign stemmed from the Co-op. They scrapped their usual planned Easter 2020 campaign, and used the money to promote a new national fundraising campaign for FareShare instead (and also donated £1.5 mil.).
Rashford originally only tweeted his support for the campaign, before a month or so later becoming the face / figurehead of the campaign. The campaign rocketed with his help (eventually making about £20 million - approx 10x the expected amount), and around this time was when he also asked how he could best use his influence to help overturn the government school meal voucher decision. Again with help and advice from the Co-op he then wrote the open letter to MP's which eventually led to the u-turn etc.
Further to this, he then got himself on 'The Times 2021 Giving List' where at first glance it appears as though he's personally donated £20 million (125% of his actual estimated wealth) to charities. As you can see this is absolute bollocks. The 20 million listed is the Co-op/ Fareshare scheme above of which he was mainly only the figurehead.
Personally i'm happy with his contribution and involvement, and how it lead to the extra millions generated and the government u-turn.
What i'm less happy about is the down-playing/ minimizing of the original Co-op/Fareshare scheme and the hard work and donations of the volunteers and other contributors.
