Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata has urged footballers across the world to unite in the fight against coronavirus.
The co-founder of charity initiative Common Goal, Mata and the organisation announced the formation of a Covid-19 response fund on Wednesday to help vulnerable communities affected by the pandemic.
Common Goal say the fund will be utilised to tackle the immediate effects and support people in the aftermath.
Mata said: ‘It’s been heartening to see many positive responses from players and other football leaders to the current crisis, but it can be also hard to know what to do to help effectively those who need it most.
