Marcus Rashford ‘spotted cosying up to Colombian-born model Erica Correa on a night out in Manchester’… as Man United prepare to listen to offers for their misfiring star

Marcus Rashford was spotted cosying up with Colombian-born model Erica Correa on a night out in Manchester on Sunday evening, according to reports.

The Manchester United star is thought to have been single since splitting with his teenage sweetheart Lucia Loi in the summer of 2023.

The then-couple, both 26, first started dating at the age of 15 while studying at Ashton on Mersey school in Greater Manchester, and Rashford proposed to Loi in May 2022 during a post-season get-away in California.

But the relationship is believed to have ‘run its course’ when the pair decided to separate a year later in June, with sources at the time claiming the couple remained ‘very close friends’.

Rashford prompted speculation that he had reconciled with his ex-fiancee in November last year when the pair were spotted having dinner at a French wine bar in Manchester, but Loi and the England international have not been spotted together publicly since.

As per the Sun, Rashford has now moved on from his former relationship, and is said to have grown close with Correa – who moved to Liverpool as a five-year-old before being spotted on the streets of the city aged 13 and going on to have a glamorous modelling career.

Should United miss out on European football altogether next season, they would have to adopt a drastic sell to buy policy. Their ability to spend ahead of next season has been hamstrung by their £555million spend over the previous three summers.

Just three players – Kobbie Mainoo, Alejandro Garnacho, and Rasmus Hojlund – are thought to be considered ‘off-limits’. 

Ten Hag’s side will look renew plans to end their season on a high note in the wake of a limp 1-1 draw with Burnley last weekend against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Monday. 

Alongside a bid for the European places, the squad will also look to contest their second-consecutive FA Cup final next month, against last season’s victorious opposition, Manchester City.
