Dhaka, Oct. 11 -- Manchester United and England forward Marcus Rashford has been awarded a Member of the Order of British Empire (MBE) for services to vulnerable children in the UK during the coronavirus pandemic.
The 2020 Queen's Birthday Honours list was due to be published in June, but was pushed back to enable nominations for people playing crucial roles during the first months of the crisis.
Rashford, 22, successfully lobbied the Government into a U-turn over its free school meals policy during lockdown, ensuring children in need would receive meals across the summer.
The England international has since formed a child food poverty task force, linking up with some of the nation's biggest supermarkets and food brands.
