Match of the Day commentator Guy Mowbray has been deleted his Twitter account amid backlash regarding comments he made about Marcus Rashford.
The Manchester United star has won the hearts of the nation as he continues his fight to end child food poverty.
Rashford has pleaded with the government to provide free meals for school children during the holidays.
But despite his calls Parliament voted against extending the scheme which has led the United star to call on local communities to do their bit.
He has enjoyed huge success in doing so and returned to football action during his side's goalless draw with Chelsea on Saturday evening.
While on commentary duty Mowbray said: "He didn't get a win in parliament, but he got the winner in Paris.
"And whether you agree with Marcus Rashford's causes or not, there's surely only admiration for his continued commitment..."
His comments were met with anger from viewers and while Mowbray tried to defend his wording, he has ultimately made the decision to remove himself from the social media platform.
He has written a statement that read: "I really think it is time to go now.
"Disturbing getting hounded by people whose view of a situation is in reality the same as mine.
"Impartiality broadcast rules mean things have to be phrased a certain way…..
"I tried to do that, having checked my original words in the morning with the programme editors.
"I had to change them - it’s in the political arena so balance (however strange that may seem with some topics) is paramount....
"The first things I said were purely factual.
"The latter was wholesome praise of someone fighting a noble cause. That’s it.
"Couldn’t have done anymore. Shouldn’t have done any less."
