Rashford could be the first Man Utd player to get a standing ovation at Anfield, says Liverpool star Robertson

Liverpool star Andy Robertson has said that Marcus Rashford could be the first Manchester United player in history to receive a standing ovation from the Anfield crowd after the work the striker has done to help disadvantaged children and families in the UK.

Rashford campaigned for free school meals to continue across the summer holidays, with many of Britain's underprivileged kids relying on them to stay healthy – especially during the coronavirus pandemic which has caused countless parents to lose their jobs.

Liverpool and United are mortal enemies on the pitch, with their fierce rivalry often making for heated spectacles whenever they meet.
