Manchester United and England footballer Marcus Rashford has stepped up his campaign for the government to fund free meals for struggling children through the summer, a measure he says he had to rely on as a boy. The 22-year-old has helped to raise million of pounds with charity FareShare UK to supply meals to families who are "existing on a knife"s edge" and written an open letter to MPs to reconsider the decision to cancel the government"s food voucher scheme over the summer holidays. Speaking on BBC Breakfast on Monday, Rashford said: "What families are going through now, I"ve once had to go through that and it"s very difficult to find a way out. It"s very important for me to help people who are struggling"
