DESPITE Manchester United’s exile from their Carrington training ground, Anthony Martial is continuing to shoulder responsibility among Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s players.
The Frenchman was pictured donning protective gloves during a pitstop to the petrol station to fill up his black Range Rover on Mother’s Day.
The 24-year-old has been undergoing his own personal training regimes from home since United scrapped first-team training to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
And Martial proved he was taking the deadly bug seriously as he sported gloves alongside the divisive combination of socks and flip-flops to fill up his tank.
The striker’s differing attitude to other footballers on the highly infectious illness will likely satisfy fans, after Portsmouth defender Sean Raggett revealed he found out he was diagnosed with coronavirus while eating in a PUB.
While SunSport revealed Dele Alli spent two nights partying as Premier League games were postponed.
A tentative date for the top-flight to return at the end of next month was agreed after a meeting on Thursday to determine the latest suspension of English football.
Marcus Rashford meanwhile celebrated Mother’s Day with a sweet post to his own mum on Instagram.
The England star wrote: “To our rock – for every hug, every laugh, every bit of encouragement, every bit of belief, every sacrifice, Happy Mothers Day. We love you, thank you for everything you do.”
Rashford had already teamed up with charity FareShare to provide food for school kids hit by coronavirus closures.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced on Wednesday that he would be closing tens of thousands of schools across England, Scotland and Wales this Friday due to the COVID-19 crisis.
He tweeted: “Guys, across the UK there are over 32,000 schools. Tomorrow all of these will close.
“Many of the children attending these schools rely on free meals, so I’ve spent the last few days talking to organisations to understand how this deficit is going to be filled.
“I wanted to understand the scale of the problem and how we can reach vulnerable children. It’s not just schools.
“It’s community centres, breakfast clubs, etc that provide the only meal many kids get each day. No child should have to worry where their next meal is coming from.
“@FareShareUK distributes food to 11,000 diff organisations across the UK reaching almost 1million people in need a week.
“Today, I am partnering with them to rework how food is distributed during the closure, with the aim that no child is missed.”
