The Manchester United and England forward has been working with the charity FareShare to help local youngsters after schools were closed across the country because of the coronavirus pandemic. The 22-year-old revealed his own childhood has inspired him to want to make a difference to the next generation.

Rashford told BBC Breakfast: “In the past I have done a lot of work in regards to children and when I heard about the schools shutting down, I knew that meant free meals for some kids that they …
At least Lorenzo Insigne will not need to be taught another lesson by his children. He had barely made it back to his car after Napoli’s win over Torino in October when his sons, eight-year-old Carmine and six-year-old Christian, warned him that they would be getting the football out and showing him how to strike a penalty as soon as they got home.

Maybe they had some good pointers. The tame effort saved by Vanja Milinkovic-Savic in that match was Insigne’s third missed spot-kick of the season. Since then, he has converted four out of four. After Inter’s Stefan De Vrij kicked the heel of Victor Osimhen on Saturday, Insigne swept a confident penalty past Sam…
Will Keane’s double secured Preston a 2-0 win at Stoke and sent his side top of the Championship table. Keane, a summer signing from Wigan, scored his third and fourth goals of the season in the space of six minutes early in the second half. He converted from the penalty spot after Wouter Burger’s foul on Duane Holmes, who then assisted for Keane’s second as the Lilywhites made it four straight league wins after their opening-day draw at Bristol City.
Freddie Ladapo fired a second-half double as Ipswich fought back from 2-0 down to beat Cardiff 3-2 at Portman Road to climb up to second. Aaron Ramsey and Joe Ralls struck either side of the break to put Cardiff in control, but Ipswich responded through Nathan Broadhead and Ladapo equalis…
The NFL will release the full 2024 schedule on May 15 at 8 p.m. ET, according to media reports on Wednesday. Teams had been told informally that Thursday would be the release day but no reason was given for the delay in a league memo Wednesday afternoon, according to Sports Business Journal. Hans Schroeder, NFL executive vice president of media distribution, wrote in the memo that more details about the plan are expected in the coming days, Sports Business Journal reported. One explanation could be determining which games would be set for Dec. 25, which this year falls on a Wednesday. The league in late March changed its stance to allow playing Christmas Day games if the holiday was a Tuesday or Wednesday. The four teams involved would play in a doubleheader the preceding Saturday. An…
What is Shaedon Sharpe? Future bust? Future superstar? Role player? Sharpe is the enigma of this Thursday’s draft. He could be many different things, perhaps a few at the same time. The only thing we know for sure is he’s going to be a Lottery pick. Nevertheless, Sharpe has been projected to go in the Top 10 in almost every mock draft available. The raw potential, size, athleticism, and even the mystery, make Sharpe the most intriguing player entering the 2022-2023 NBA season. The 19-year-old, 6-foot-6 phenom from Canada sat out his entire freshman season with Kentucky due to mysterious eligibility circumstances. Many thought Sharpe would return to the court once he returned to the Wildcats’ practices. However, that was put to rest by Kentucky head coach John Calipari. “I have t…
Desmond Ridder will look to build off his best passing performance of the season when the Atlanta Falcons host the struggling Washington Commanders on Sunday. Nearly one week after reporters asked Atlanta coach Arthur Smith if he would move in a different direction with his QB1, Ridder connected with 10 different receivers and passed for a career-high 329 yards in the Falcons' 21-19 comeback win over the Houston Texans last Sunday. The second-year pro completed 28 of 37 passes and added one passing and one rushing score. On the 10-play, 56-yard game-winning drive in the waning moments, Ridder completed all five of his pass attempts, which eventually led to Younghoe Koo nailing a 37-yard field goal as time expired. "His teammates believe in him," Smith said. "And …

We've heard all that offseason talk about bounties and fines and suspensions, but according to the Chicago Tribune, the Saints have much more pressing, immediate priorities. Taking Anthony Davis at No. 1 is a no-brainer, but they must really be fretting over what to do at No. 10 and No. 46. [ Chicago Tribune; h/t to many of you] …
Certainly, street food in Hong Kong will kill you, and this I was prepared for, steering clear of the three-day chicken feet in spicy salmonella sauce. But there are other hazards. Ignorance, for one. I didn’t realize the Special Administrative Region that is Hong Kong is not only a high-rise jungle, but a literal jungle. As we gathered for the start of the MSIG Sai Kung trail race, a mere half-hour bus ride from the most densely populated urban square mile on earth, my new Hong Kong friend passingly mentioned that most of the country park’s Burmese pythons would be hibernating at this time of year. But he added that I should avoid falling into bushes. Or grabbing tree branches for balance. A Burmese python that is not hibernating. Photo via [object Object] . Hong Kong peninsula, …
