Leeds chief Andrea Radrizzani has sent a two-word message to Patrick Bamford on Twitter.
The Elland Road supremo was responding to the striker’s comments made to talkSPORT, in which he revealed that he thinks Marcus Rashford deserves a knighthood for his attempts to end child food poverty.
Radrizzani wrote ‘well said’ along with two applauding emojis.
In truth, it’s hard to argue against Bamford – who is in fine form having scored a hat-trick against Aston Villa last week.
What the Manchester United striker is doing for hungry children across the United Kingdom is nothing short of inspirational and phenomenal.
Bamford himself even admitted that he’s found himself looking up to the England international as a role model, despite the fact he’s five years older than Rashford.
Today, the 22-year-old revealed on Twitter that over seven million meals have been delivered to the most vulnerable youngsters across the UK.
It is a fantastic achievement, and one that Radrizzani is clearly in awe of.
Leeds captain Liam Cooper recently tweeted that the Yorkshire-based club’s entire squad would collectively donate £25,000 to the cause.
Radrizzani then revealed that the club would be matching that donation, meaning £50,000 has left Elland Road to go towards Rashford’s campaign.
While Leeds and Manchester United remain bitter rivals on the field, it’s good to see them pulling together to end child poverty.
