OSCAR Hughes is a huge Manchester United fan, He was even the club’s mascot at Old Trafford last autumn.
When the team learned that Oscar’s parents Ian and Marie needed to raise £150,000 to fund much-needed treatment for their son, they agreed to promote the appeal on social media. Within a week almost a quarter of the money had been raised.
This might not have turned out to be the season United had hoped for, but what a result it’s turned out to be for young Oscar.
