The Manchester United Foundation has donated £300,000 to its partner high schools and colleges to help them through the coronavirus crisis.

United have pledged £10,000 to each site to provide food, clothing, energy, medication, IT equipment and other essentials for vulnerable families.

John Shiels, CEO of the Manchester United Foundation, said: 'We really value the relationship we have with our schools, and in the spirit of true partnerships, we are delighted to be able to offer support to those families who are most in need right now.

'Our coaches usually work with these children day-in-day-out and this way we are able to still make a difference and give them a sense of hope at this difficult time.
