Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has dropped a hint that Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford may not be thrown into Premier League action straight away.

The coronavirus pandemic caused a three-month suspension to fixtures, with United restarting their campaign in just under two weeks time when they travel to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to take on Spurs in their first game back.
Rashford and Pogba have been taking part in training alongside their teammates ahead of the game, but Solskjaer has hinted that they still may not be able to play a full part in the games.
“Well, we hope everybody’s going to be ready for the first game,” he told the club’s official website. .
“We’ve had time out so I don’t think we can expect that those lads who’ve missed lots of the football can last the full game.”
The Premier League have announced a rule change that will allow clubs to make up to five substitutes during the upcoming games, increasing from the usual three and the United boss said that the update will help clubs during a difficult time.
He added: “But now the rules have changed, we can use five subs and have nine on the bench. I think that’s helpful because footballers, after being out for so long, going into competitive games will be a challenge for them and we have to look after them injury-wise and fitness-wise,” he added.
“We can’t just flog one player and say to them, ‘you play every game and every minute’ because it might be a period when we have to rotate quite often.”

City appeal key for De Bruyne - Martinez
Kevin de Bruyne’s future at Manchester City could be dependent upon the club’s appeal on their European ban, claims Belgium boss Roberto Martinez.
City were handed a two-season European ban in February and such a lengthy ban could make some of their star players consider their future at the club, who will be out of the European spotlight.
Martinez, who coaches De Bruyne at international level, claims the playmaker’s future could be decided depending on the result of City’s appeal.
“Of course, if Manchester City have a ban, he will take that into his decision-making,” Martinez told beIN Sports, as cited by MEN Sport.
“Over the years he’s shown that if he’s happy somewhere he likes to stay and win things. But I think it’s going to have a major say what happens at the club if there is a ban.

“What’s going to happen with the manager and what’s going to happen with any future project?
“Kevin is a winner. I think he'll take everything into his decision. He'll take into consideration if there's a ban in the Champions League, if the coach and the manager that he has a fantastic relationship with is going to stay at the club.”
Lillo chosen as Guardiola assistant
Pep Guardiola will have Juanma Lillo as his new assistant at Manchester City, six months after Mikel Arteta left the role to join Arsenal.
Rodolfo Borrell has taken on some of Arteta’s responsibilities alongside his normal coaching role but he was never the long-term replacement for the position.
MEN Sport report that Guardiola is closing in on his man, while former City captain Vincent Kompany - currently the player-manager at Anderlecht - was previously approached about the role.
Lillo, 54, was last in Spanish football as assistant to Jorge Sampaoli at Sevilla – having previously been his number two with the Chilean national team – and has since managed at Atletico Nacional, Vissel Kobe and Qingdao Huanghai, where he is now departing.
City to hold onto Cancelo - report
Manchester City will not sell full-back Joao Cancelo this summer amid reports linking him with a move to Barcelona, according to Mundo Deportivo.
There have been reports that the Portuguese international was set to be swapped with his fellow countryman Nelson Semedo at the Camp Nou.
Catalan media outlet Mundo Deportivo says that Guardiola has no interest in signing Semedo, meaning that any exit for Cancelo is off the table.
The former Valencia defender joined City from Juventus last summer but has not dislodged Kyle Walker at right-back under Guardiola, starting just eight Premier League games to date this season.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-06-06--What Manchester Black Lives Matter organisers say about protesting in pandemic

Eric Garner , Philando Castile , Breonna Taylor , and most recently George Floyd , are just some of the black Americans who have died in police custody .
Minneapolis officers arrested Mr Floyd , 46 , on May 25 after a shop employee accused him of using a counterfeit $ 20 bill to buy cigarettes .
He was pinned to the ground by three officers , one kneeling on his neck , with a fourth standing in front to block the view from bystanders who filmed the incident while desperately pleading for them to stop .
“ I can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ repeatedly struggled to say , before he became unconscious and died at the scene .
Nearly two weeks after his death , all four sacked police officers have been charged - Derek Chauvin ’ s charge has been elevated to second-degree murder , and Thomas Lane , J Alexander Kueng and Tou Thao face charges of aiding and abetting second-degree murder , and aiding and abetting second-degree manslaughter .
The shocking and unlawful death has sparked a new wave of protests across the US against racism and police killings .
While the majority @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have resulted in violence and looting , with curfews enforced in some cities and more than 9,000 arrests made .
But the incident has shaken and enraged cities across the world , in the UK , and in Manchester .
And it ’ s not just black people who have been moved , with a significant rise in non-blacks waking up from complicity and asking how they can use their white privilege to help .
Petitions have been signed , donations made , and letters written to MPs .
Black Lives Matter demonstrations @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with more planned for this weekend .
There ’ s no sign of backing down .
Some people may brush off what has happened as ‘ an issue for the US ’ , some may be astounded that crowds are gathering in the middle of a pandemic as fingers quickly point the blame for a cause on a potential second wave of coronavirus .
“ We don ’ t have the privilege to ignore what is happening , ” says Craig Brightly , just one of the activists who is worried the protests @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be blamed .
“ By being there , we were putting our own lives at risk , and that should be enough for people to know it ’ s a cause we ’ re passionate about .
“ It wasn ’ t a day out .
It wasn ’ t fun .
People were hurt , people were angry , people were upset .
“ What about the thousands of people at the beach ?
Or those participating in a conga at VE day celebrations ?
“ Everyone is picking and choosing when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ distancing .
When it ’ s a protest about someone ’ s rights , it ’ s wrong , but when it ’ s a beach day and everyone wants an ice cream , it ’ s ok. ” Craig says he left the protest on May 31 feeling 'empowered ' .
He likens the sense of solidarity to the aftermath of the Manchester Arena bomb .
He shared photos from the day to the Chorlton Facebook group , and while the post received hundreds of likes , it was met with 'upsetting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had to disable .
One user mocked George ’ s death by quoting “ I can ’ t breathe ” , and then said ‘ a lot of them won ’ t be able to breathe after two weeks ’ implying that Craig and others will be showing symptoms of the deadly virus in a fortnight .
The 24-year-old video editor , who works in London but moved back to Chorlton to live with this family amid coronavirus , says the deaths in America are 'very close to home ' .
“ It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ happen to my friend , to my family members .
It ’ s not as blatant here but still happens on a microscale .
“ There ’ s been so many instances of microaggression .
I ’ ve been going into nightclubs as the only black guy out of a group of friends and I ’ ve been turned away .
“ I used to work in Selfridges and there ’ s been times where I ’ ve been in the store not in my uniform , or as soon as my badge @ @ @ @ @ @ @ d get certain looks from staff .
But it ’ s literally my place of work .
I shouldn ’ t feel uncomfortable going into those spaces.
” In 2017 , almost 20 years after the review of the murder of Stephen Lawrence , which concluded that the Metropolitan Police was 'institutionally racist , ' the Lammy Review was published .
Commissioned by the government and chaired by Rt Hon David Lammy MP , it ’ s one of many that has looked into the treatment of BAME individuals in the criminal justice @ @ @ @ @ @ @ against them ' .
In response to the inquiry , a Race and Ethnicity Board was established to monitor the implementation of recommendations , and the government said they were committed to publishing 'more and better data ' on race and ethnicity , including on the working of the courts , victims , and offender management .
Looking at the most recent statistics from the Home Office and Ministry of Justice in 2018-19 , black people were more than nine times as likely to be stopped and searched by police than as white @ @ @ @ @ @ @ likely to be arrested ; and more than five times as likely to have force used against them by police in England and Wales .
And on Tuesday , a report published by Public Health England revealed that those of a BAME background have a 10-50 percent higher risk of dying from coronavirus .
It also confirmed that the highest diagnosis rates of Covid-19 were in people of black ethnic groups .
In response to the study , Health Secretary Matt Hancock said : “ Black lives matter , as do those of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have worse health outcomes , and we need to make sure all of these considerations are taken into account , and action is taken to level-up the health outcomes of people across this country . ''
The government is yet to take urgent action to protect these at-risk groups .
The data follows the deaths of Stretford taxi driver , Trevor Bell , who was spat at by a fare-dodger who claimed he had the disease , and Belly Mujinga , who also died after being spat on while working at London ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Police say the attack didn ’ t result in her death .
Craig adds : “ BAME people are disproportionately dying from coronavirus but they ’ re also disproportionately dying under police brutality , so those two battles happen to coincide unfortunately.
” With racial incidents rife in the US and not unheard of in the UK , some may wonder why now ?
Why has the death of George Floyd in particular caused such an outcry ?
Mixed-race philosophy student , Morgan , who is co-organising a protest at St Peter ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as one reason in allowing people to use their privilege and their platforms , and for spreading the word .
“ He was filmed for eight minutes , dying on camera , it ’ s disgusting .
And he won ’ t be the last , ” says the University of Manchester student .
“ George Floyd ’ s death is the tip of the iceberg .
This is not just about US police , it 's about the institutional racism that ’ s heavily prevalent in British society .
We see it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the Windrush generation , and in our own prime minister , who called black people piccaninnies with their watermelon smiles .
To have a man in charge like that and to say the UK is not racist , it ’ s just not true.
” Morgan also says she ’ s experienced racism first-hand 'multiple times ' .
She ’ s been called the N word , had her hair pulled , and on nights out with her black friends , they too have been turned away from clubs .
She continues @ @ @ @ @ @ @ get our voices heard is through this protest as we ’ ve seen through all the civil rights movements , protests are what makes change .
“ We know that black people are more likely to die from the virus and black people are working in the front line health care jobs and not receiving the protection they need to work safely , so this is a protest against our black community dying at the hands of the government .
It ’ s not a coincidence that black people are dying in this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Tyrek Morris , 21-year-old multimedia journalism student at Manchester Metropolitan University .
He says : “ Racism is built into the DNA of the UK and personally we ’ ve all had enough .
“ I organised this protest because I ’ m sick of being seen as a lower citizen , that the colour of my skin and the texture of my hair imply that I ’ m a thug and uneducated .
I want every person that ’ s enriched by black culture to pull up , your silence is complicit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ face.
” He adds : “ I have two nephews who are living in Bay City , Texas .
I want them to grow up in a world without fear , where they can blossom into the amazing people I know they ’ ll grow up to be.
” Sacha Lord , Night Time Economy Adviser for Greater Manchester , has called on anyone who experiences racism to report it to 'ensure those committing these aboherrent offences are held accountable , and educated that this behaviour is not , and will not be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one too many , and all operators within the night time economy sector in Greater Manchester must continue to work together to end discrimination , ” he adds .
Mr Lord ’ s comments come as Greater Manchester Combined Authority on Wednesday announced they are bringing forward proposals for a Greater Manchester Race Equality Panel and made a new commitment to work with Greater Manchester Police to publish a quarterly Race Equality Policing Report on the use of policing powers .
Morgan says the protest on June 7 will be 'peaceful , we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to ensure everybody is safe . '
Everyone is encouraged to wear a face mask , gloves , bring hand sanitiser , and to stand two metres apart .
Money is being raised for all UK cities taking part in the BLM protests , which will be split evenly to provide water and PPE , with proceeds going to supporting black charities .
There will be an open mic to allow people to share their experiences , and creatives are being welcomed to share poetry and prose .
For people who are concerned @ @ @ @ @ @ @ living with vulnerable people , Craig suggests clapping in support from a distance .
“ That is still really impactful .
It lets you know people who aren ’ t marching are still with you.
” He continues : “ The Black Lives Matter movement isn ’ t declaring that black lives are superior to anyone else .
Of course , everyone ’ s lives matter .
It ’ s reminding everyone that black lives do matter because they ’ re treated as if they don ’ t. ” While Craig says the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ history , and more people of colour need to be sitting on company boards and in higher institutions , he asks people on the ground to acknowledge microaggressions in their day to day lives to help break down systematic racism ; educate themselves through reading ; check in with people of colour and ask them about the situation ; have the difficult conversations with family members .
He admits racism isn ’ t going to disappear overnight , “ it ’ ll be progressive over time , '' he says .
`` Everyone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
It feels like change is on its way . ''
The MCRBLM Protest is on June 7 at 2pm at St. Peter ’ s Square .
A separate group called Manchester March have also organised a 'peaceful , static , socially distanced protest ' today ( Saturday ) at Piccadilly Gardens .

“Everyone is picking and choosing when they want to be aware of social distancing. When it’s a protest about someone’s rights, it’s wrong, but when it’s a beach day and everyone wants an ice cream, it’s ok.”
Craig says he left the protest on May 31 feeling 'empowered'. He likens the sense of solidarity to the aftermath of the Manchester Arena bomb.
He shared photos from the day to the Chorlton Facebook group, and while the post received hundreds of likes, it was met with 'upsetting, horrible' comments, which Craig had to disable.

One user mocked George’s death by quoting “I can’t breathe”, and then said ‘a lot of them won’t be able to breathe after two weeks’ implying that Craig and others will be showing symptoms of the deadly virus in a fortnight.
The 24-year-old video editor, who works in London but moved back to Chorlton to live with this family amid coronavirus, says the deaths in America are 'very close to home'.
“It could happen to me, it could happen to my friend, to my family members. It’s not as blatant here but still happens on a microscale.
“There’s been so many instances of microaggression. I’ve been going into nightclubs as the only black guy out of a group of friends and I’ve been turned away.
“I used to work in Selfridges and there’s been times where I’ve been in the store not in my uniform, or as soon as my badge was taken off, and I’d get certain looks from staff. But it’s literally my place of work. I shouldn’t feel uncomfortable going into those spaces.”
In 2017, almost 20 years after the review of the murder of Stephen Lawrence, which concluded that the Metropolitan Police was 'institutionally racist,' the Lammy Review was published.
Commissioned by the government and chaired by Rt Hon David Lammy MP, it’s one of many that has looked into the treatment of BAME individuals in the criminal justice system, which concluded it was 'stacked against them'.
In response to the inquiry, a Race and Ethnicity Board was established to monitor the implementation of recommendations, and the government said they were committed to publishing 'more and better data' on race and ethnicity, including on the working of the courts, victims, and offender management.
Looking at the most recent statistics from the Home Office and Ministry of Justice in 2018-19, black people were more than nine times as likely to be stopped and searched by police than as white people; they were three times as likely to be arrested; and more than five times as likely to have force used against them by police in England and Wales.
And on Tuesday, a report published by Public Health England revealed that those of a BAME background have a 10-50 percent higher risk of dying from coronavirus. It also confirmed that the highest diagnosis rates of Covid-19 were in people of black ethnic groups.
In response to the study, Health Secretary Matt Hancock said: “Black lives matter, as do those of the poorest areas of our country which have worse health outcomes, and we need to make sure all of these considerations are taken into account, and action is taken to level-up the health outcomes of people across this country."
The government is yet to take urgent action to protect these at-risk groups.
The data follows the deaths of Stretford taxi driver, Trevor Bell, who was spat at by a fare-dodger who claimed he had the disease, and Belly Mujinga, who also died after being spat on while working at London’s Victoria station, although British Transport Police say the attack didn’t result in her death.
Craig adds: “BAME people are disproportionately dying from coronavirus but they’re also disproportionately dying under police brutality, so those two battles happen to coincide unfortunately.”
With racial incidents rife in the US and not unheard of in the UK, some may wonder why now? Why has the death of George Floyd in particular caused such an outcry? Mixed-race philosophy student, Morgan, who is co-organising a protest at St Peter’s Square on Sunday cites social media as one reason in allowing people to use their privilege and their platforms, and for spreading the word.

“He was filmed for eight minutes, dying on camera, it’s disgusting. And he won’t be the last,” says the University of Manchester student.
“George Floyd’s death is the tip of the iceberg. This is not just about US police, it's about the institutional racism that’s heavily prevalent in British society. We see it in our schools, the Grenfell victims, the Windrush generation, and in our own prime minister, who called black people piccaninnies with their watermelon smiles. To have a man in charge like that and to say the UK is not racist, it’s just not true.”
Morgan also says she’s experienced racism first-hand 'multiple times'. She’s been called the N word, had her hair pulled, and on nights out with her black friends, they too have been turned away from clubs.
She continues: “The only way we will get our voices heard is through this protest as we’ve seen through all the civil rights movements, protests are what makes change.
“We know that black people are more likely to die from the virus and black people are working in the front line health care jobs and not receiving the protection they need to work safely, so this is a protest against our black community dying at the hands of the government. It’s not a coincidence that black people are dying in this pandemic.”

Morgan will be standing alongside Tyrek Morris, 21-year-old multimedia journalism student at Manchester Metropolitan University.
He says: “Racism is built into the DNA of the UK and personally we’ve all had enough.
“I organised this protest because I’m sick of being seen as a lower citizen, that the colour of my skin and the texture of my hair imply that I’m a thug and uneducated. I want every person that’s enriched by black culture to pull up, your silence is complicit with what black people are having to face.”
He adds: “I have two nephews who are living in Bay City, Texas. I want them to grow up in a world without fear, where they can blossom into the amazing people I know they’ll grow up to be.”
Sacha Lord, Night Time Economy Adviser for Greater Manchester, has called on anyone who experiences racism to report it to 'ensure those committing these abhorrent offences are held accountable, and educated that this behaviour is not, and will not be tolerated.'
“One incident is one too many, and all operators within the night time economy sector in Greater Manchester must continue to work together to end discrimination,” he adds.
(Image: Tyrek Morris)
Mr Lord’s comments come as Greater Manchester Combined Authority on Wednesday announced they are bringing forward proposals for a Greater Manchester Race Equality Panel and made a new commitment to work with Greater Manchester Police to publish a quarterly Race Equality Policing Report on the use of policing powers.
Morgan says the protest on June 7 will be 'peaceful, we want it to be a still protest to ensure everybody is safe.' Everyone is encouraged to wear a face mask, gloves, bring hand sanitiser, and to stand two metres apart.
Money is being raised for all UK cities taking part in the BLM protests, which will be split evenly to provide water and PPE, with proceeds going to supporting black charities.
There will be an open mic to allow people to share their experiences, and creatives are being welcomed to share poetry and prose.
For people who are concerned about protesting in a pandemic, perhaps living with vulnerable people, Craig suggests clapping in support from a distance .
“That is still really impactful. It lets you know people who aren’t marching are still with you.”
He continues: “The Black Lives Matter movement isn’t declaring that black lives are superior to anyone else. Of course, everyone’s lives matter. It’s reminding everyone that black lives do matter because they’re treated as if they don’t.”
While Craig says the school curriculum needs to incorporate more black history, and more people of colour need to be sitting on company boards and in higher institutions, he asks people on the ground to acknowledge microaggressions in their day to day lives to help break down systematic racism; educate themselves through reading; check in with people of colour and ask them about the situation; have the difficult conversations with family members.
He admits racism isn’t going to disappear overnight, “it’ll be progressive over time," he says.
"Everyone feels a bit more powerful each day. It feels like change is on its way."
The MCRBLM Protest is on June 7 at 2pm at St. Peter’s Square. A separate group called Manchester March have also organised a 'peaceful, static, socially distanced protest' today (Saturday) at Piccadilly Gardens. More information can be found on their Twitter pages.

Here are your Manchester United morning headlines for Saturday, June 6.
United fans back club on Werner
Timo Werner looks set to join Chelsea this summer with the Europa League holders set to activate the striker’s £49million release clause at RB Leipzig.
The German international has been free-scoring in the Bundesliga this season and had been heavily linked with a move to Liverpool among other European clubs.
Manchester United had been keeping tabs on the German forward, but fans have backed the club’s approach which will likely see them miss out on the player.
As highlighted by the MEN, multiple tweets from United fans indicate they do not believe another striker is essential for the club as it could impede the progress of Mason Greenwood.
Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial are the established strikers at Old Trafford and both look set to have many promising years ahead of them, while Odion Ighalo has extended his loan deal until next January.
Fernandes apology to Bishop
Bruno Fernandes has apologised to goalkeeper Nathan Bishop after embarrassing him with a chipped shot in training.

Fernandes has made five Premier League appearances for United, scoring twice and providing three assists.
Solskjaer reveals ‘new ideas’ in training
Manchester United’s training sessions are in full flow ahead of the Premier League’s return later this month and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has revealed ‘new ideas’ are being worked on.
United return to action with a trip to Tottenham - a venue where they won 1-0 last season and a side they beat 2-1 back in December.
Solskjaer is hopeful of recording another landmark victory against a rival chasing the coveted Champions League spots, and has spoken of ‘tweaking’ ideas in recent sessions ahead of the season run-in.
"Training has been about recapping what we did well, tweaking maybe one or two things and looking at some new ideas," Solskjaer told the club's website.
"Hopefully we can see a lot of what we saw towards the end before the lockdown. We’ve got games coming weekend, midweek, weekend for a spell so you have to focus on ourselves and not just on that one, first game."

“ Sometimes it just takes one player to turn a team around and knit a team together , ” Scholes told an MUTV group chat .

themanchestereveningnews--2020-06-06--What Terry, 96, did, when lockdown forced her to spend ages on her own

When lockdown threatened to cut Terry Holt off from the wider world , the 96-year-old refused to take it lying down .
Instead , she took to the streets of her Stockport neighbourhood with her walker , making new friends along the way .
Amid the restrictions put in place to control the pandemic , that daily half-mile became a lifeline for Terry .
And then , when she saw Colonel Tom Moore , on the news , those walks became even more important - as a way of keeping up the charity work Terry 's done for decades .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ my family are not nearby , so in the beginning I was struggling and feeling lonely , '' she said .
`` Fundraising has given me a reason to get up and out every day .
`` I did get down and depressed a bit , '' she added .
`` Some days I did feel like giving up .
It really is difficult not seeing anyone and it has really got me down .
`` But , I have been volunteering since the age of 20 and helping others helps me to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Visits from granddaughter Sarah , and having shopping delivered by kind neighbours Karen and Derek Latham , who she met through the Gatley Community Help Group , also made self-isolating more bearable for Terry , who was widowed 14 years ago .
`` I have made new friends and we have this lovely couple that help get things for me .

When lockdown threatened to cut Terry Holt off from the wider world, the 96-year-old refused to take it lying down.
Instead, she took to the streets of her Stockport neighbourhood with her walker, making new friends along the way.
Amid the restrictions put in place to control the pandemic, that daily half-mile became a lifeline for Terry.
And then, when she saw Colonel Tom Moore, on the news, those walks became even more important - as a way of keeping up the charity work Terry's done for decades.
“I live on my own and my family are not nearby, so in the beginning I was struggling and feeling lonely," she said.
"Fundraising has given me a reason to get up and out every day.
"I did get down and depressed a bit," she added. "Some days I did feel like giving up. It really is difficult not seeing anyone and it has really got me down.
"But, I have been volunteering since the age of 20 and helping others helps me to stay positive and keep going."
Visits from granddaughter Sarah, and having shopping delivered by kind neighbours Karen and Derek Latham, who she met through the Gatley Community Help Group, also made self-isolating more bearable for Terry, who was widowed 14 years ago.
"I have made new friends and we have this lovely couple that help get things for me. I use my phone and my iPad. I get messages and things," the retired teacher and shop owner said.

On May 16, Terry's granddaughter Esme Holt set up her fundraising page and, since then, she's raised £1,000.
She's one of a number of older people from across the country following in the footsteps of Colonel Tom Moore, who raised £32,796,696 for the NHS by walking lengths of his garden to mark his 100th birthday.
"Because we can't go out, I thought 'I have to keep walking'. I saw this chap (Captain Tom) on the television. I thought 'I could do that'.
“Coronavirus is keeping us all stuck indoors but, being 96 and walking with a walker, I wanted to keep mobile. I accepted middle age when I got to 90 so I’m still only middle aged now and if I stop moving, I feel like I might get old.
"Each day I do a daily walk and I’m using this as an opportunity to continue fundraising.”
She doesn't have a particular distance that she is aiming for - but she walks roughly one quarter to half a mile each day.
She plans to keep going until the lockdown is lifted entirely.
Terry has had a long and rich life - she served in the Auxiliary Territorial Service, the women's branch of the British Army, during the Second World War.
In 1946, she went to the Middle East, where she worked as a pay clerk for a company of locally enlisted Jewish women from Palestine.
"Through them I heard first-hand about their experience of escaping from fascist regimes. This was my first experience of hearing about the fate of children growing up in war torn areas and it is a passion I have carried through the rest of my life.”
in 1959 Terry set up the Cheadle and Gatley branch of Save the Children.
She worked as a history and politics teacher at a further education college in Salford and then owned her own wool shop.
Terry's husband Tim Holt, who developed Alzheimer's, died in 2006.
Her daughter Paula Holt, who lives in Wales so is unable to see her during lockdown, said: "I'm dead proud of her, everyone is so impressed.
"One of the things about being 96 is you get marginalised in society. She can't go to meetings or events.
"Because she walks with a walking frame, and she's elderly, she's not as stable. It's quite hard really.

"She's got a lot of determination."
Deborah Forster, volunteer manager at Save the Children said: “Terry’s tenacity is inspiring and shows exactly why we want to say such a huge thank you to her and all of our volunteers and fundraisers.
"More than 13,000 volunteers support Save the Children in a huge range of roles, and many of them have turned to fundraising for our Coronavirus appeal, which enables us to reach even more children.
Volunteers Week is a great opportunity for us to recognise and thank our great volunteers for everything they do, especially at the moment.
“Even before the Coronavirus outbreak, four million children lived in poverty in the UK and we can’t let this number rise.
