All proceeds from the t-shirt will be donated to the Foundation, as part of the 'Donate. Support. Unite.' campaign launched this week by the Foundation to raise funds for its expanding charitable response to the pandemic. 

The stylish t-shirt, which has the slogan “United for the Heroes” emblazoned across its front, builds on United’s 'Frontline Heroes' campaign to recognise key workers and volunteers who are saving lives and serving their communities.
 
Fans have been invited to nominate their Frontline Heroes for recognition, including supporters who are key workers providing essential services or volunteers supporting charities or helping vulnerable neighbours.
 
Some of the nominees have received ‘Thank You’ messages from players and now United fans around the world will be able to show their appreciation on a t-shirt.
  
Since the start of the crisis, the Foundation has worked with the football club to provide 60,000 meals for NHS staff, donated money and activity packs to partner schools to support their pupils and families, and teamed up with worldwide Manchester United Supporters’ Clubs to support local youth charities in their own Covid campaigns.
 
A charity auction will be held next week across all club and Foundation channels, featuring prizes from Harry Maguire and other players and legends.
 
John Shiels, Chief Executive of the Foundation, said: “There are so many heroes working selflessly for others in response to the pandemic and this t-shirt is a great way for United fans to show their appreciation.
 
“The proceeds from this t-shirt will help Manchester United Foundation meet the growing need we see in all the communities in which we work, and honour the key workers and volunteers who are on the frontline of the crisis. We are grateful to the Club for coming up with this great product and to everyone who buys it.”
