During his visit to The Lit Bar, the only bookshop in the Bronx, Marcus Rashford, the beloved Manchester United star, found himself surrounded by admirers. Known for his charitable work and advocacy, Rashford took the time to sign copies of his latest book, “You Are a Champion,” for his supporters.

The Lit Bar holds great significance for the Bronx community, being the only bookshop in the neighborhood. Its importance is evident as it has attracted notable figures like Jennifer Lopez, a Bronx native, and even received a virtual visit from former President Barack Obama, who connected with owner Noelle.

Expressing his appreciation for The Lit Bar on Instagram, Rashford highlighted its independent black ownership and emphasized its vital role in the community. The footballer also engaged in a Q&A session at the store, further connecting with his fans and supporters.

Rashford’s commitment to charitable endeavors has earned him widespread recognition, including an MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire). His initiatives range from assisting the homeless and supporting NHS workers to combating food poverty and figҺting for free school lunches for vulnerable children.

In a notable display of determination, Rashford wrote an open letter to Members of Parliament, urging them to reconsider their decision not to provide free school meal vouchers to 1.3 million eligible pupils. Initially met with resistance, his unwavering dedication, coupled with support from lawmakers and public figures like Sir Keir Starmer, Gary Lineker, and Piers Morgan, prompted a change in the government’s stance.
