Liverpool Boss Heaps Praises On Marcus Rashford

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has lavishly praised Marcus Rashford for showing the kind of leadership the Government is failing to provide with his campaign for free school meals.

Klopp joked it was ‘tricky’ to speak so highly of the 22-year-old England striker because he plays for arch-rivals Manchester United but described his work as ‘absolutely incredible’.

Rashford has been waging a high-profile campaign to ensure the poorest children in the country do not go hungry outside of term time, being awarded an MBE earlier this month for his work.

‘I am not sure I can find any better words than much smarter people have said but what Marcus has started there is absolutely incredible, it is so nice,’ said Klopp.

‘And with all the rivalry between the clubs, in these moments we are as footballers and as human beings always united.

‘It’s just nice to show in a time when obviously a lot of people who are really in charge of something and don’t show any sign of proper leadership, that a boy grown up in difficult circumstances and blessed with sensational talent, obviously, never forgot his roots and where he is coming from, that he has to do it.’

‘But yes that just shows that football can be really wondrous in moments and it shows that the subject is really really serious and that is why everybody puts the rivalry aside and thinks about the more important things in life.
‘So I am really happy that Liverpool can show this solidarity in these moments.

‘Now he is a role model for that and it is truly great and it won’t distract him from his football things.’
