FOOTBALLER Marcus Rashford has launched a book club to help children from disadvantaged backgrounds and encourage them to read.
The England and Manchester United striker previously campaigned to ensure children eligible for free school meals were still given food during the holidays amid the pandemic.
The book club will see Macmillan Children’s Books donate 50,000 free books through children’s food charity Magic Breakfast to reach children in more than 850 primary schools across England and Scotland.
