Reports say that Marcus Rashford was seen getting close to model Erica Correa, who is from Colombia, on a night out in Manchester on Sunday.
He is thought to have been single since the summer of 2023, when he broke up with his high school sweetheart Lucia Loi.
The couple, who were both 26 at the time, started dating when they were 15 years old and going to school together in Greater Manchester at Ashton on Mersey. Rashford proposed to Loi in May 2022 while they were on vacation in California after the season.
But when they chose to break up a year later in June, the relationship is thought to have “run its course.” At the time, sources said the two were still “very close friends.”
When Rashford and Loi were seen having dinner together at a French wine bar in Manchester in November of last year, it led to rumors that he and Loi had gotten back together. However, Loi and the England star have not been seen together in public since.
According to the Sun, Rashford is no longer with his ex-girlfriend and has become close with Correa. Correa moved to Liverpool when she was five years old and was first seen on the streets of the city when she was thirteen. She then went on to have a successful career as a model.
Rashford and Correa were seen together at the late-night bar BLVD Manchester on Sunday night.
A source told the news outlet, “Marcus is delivering the goods off the field, no matter what his form is on it.”
“He looked like the cat that scratched Erica’s arm.” They were having a great time.
Marcus and Erica were touching each other and clearly enjoying being with each other.
The two are thought to have ended the night in the VIP area of the bar during the Slow Jam Soiree, an R&B night at the venue. Rashford’s group is said to have kept the couple out of sight while they had a private chat.
The Sun was told by a representative for Rashford that the player had a good time with friends at the club.
Correa, who is 29 years old, grew up in Liverpool. As a model, she has lived in India, Greece, Italy, and the US.
Correa has been in magazines like GQ, Grazia, Harper’s Bazaar, Women’s Health, and Ella. She also had the lead part in Tom Grennan’s music video for his single “Sober.”
Rashford hasn’t been in great shape this season under new boss Erik ten Hag. Earlier in the season, fans wondered if his relationship with Loi had been a “lucky charm” for the academy graduate.
The player opened up about the stress he’s been under during a rough season on Friday, when he wrote on social media that some fans had been abusive to him for months.
Rashford could still try to find his amazing form away from Old Trafford. There are rumors that the club may try to sell their star player over the summer as new owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe completely changes the team.
The 26-year-old is one of several regular starters who could be moved during the next transfer window. Rashford’s agents met with Paris Saint-Germain two years ago and are still thought to be interested in the player.
People don’t think United is actively trying to get rid of players, but they need to sell some players to make up for their small transfer budget.
The team may want to get a new striker, central midfielder, and right-sided center back, but they might not be able to spend a lot of money like they have in the past.
United would have to make big changes to their sell-to-buy approach if they don’t make it to Europe next season. They haven’t been able to spend much before next season because they spent £555 million over the last three summers.
Kobbie Mainoo, Alejandro Garnacho, and Rasmus Hojlund are thought to be the only three stars who are “off-limits.”
Ten Hag’s team will try to end the season on a high note after a dull 1-1 draw with Burnley last weekend. On Monday, they will play Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
Along with trying to get into Europe, the team will also be playing in their second straight FA Cup final next month, against Manchester City, who beat them last year.
