The pair were photographed by Misan Harriman, the first Black male photographer to shoot a cover of British Voguein its 104-year history.

Rashford succeeded earlier this year in getting the government to reverse its decision on food vouchers, meaning 1.3 million children in England can claim free school meal vouchers in the summer holidays. "I’m by no means a politician but I had a voice and a platform that could be used to at least ask the questions,” said Rashford in a statement. "If I didn’t put myself out there and say, ‘This is not OK and it needs to change,’ I would have failed my 10-year-old self."
