Fans have to say wow with Rashford’s £2.5m home which is called a modern paradise

The England player currently resides in a stunning home with trendy modern decorations that he credits to his mum. He just announced his engagement to his girlfriend Lucia Loi. The Burberry spokesman has posted numerous interior shots on social media, and with smooth cream carpeting and a minimalist color scheme, it’s clear she has excellent taste.

Marcus, 24, always has football on his mind, even when he’s not working out with the Manchester United team. He has a home gym to keep him in shape, and a whole trophy cabinet to show off his athletic prowess. Explore the inside…

Marcus Rashford’s garden

The exterior of Marcus’ home is made of red brick with double doors leading onto a patio area where he had set up a basketball hoop. The snap also reveals big windows on the upper level where an impressive light fixture is visible.

Marcus Rashford’s home gym

Inside, Marcus has a home gym that is decorated with white stone walls and framed ‘Rashford 39’ jerseys. It has an exercise bike, weights and other workout equipment and he told  B/R Football  that in pre-season, he takes the former up to his steam room to do a 30-minute workout – intense!

Marcus Rashford’s hallway

Marcus posed for a photo in his hallway, where he has cleverly created a built-in glass trophy cabinet under the stairs. It contains football memorabilia that he has collected since his official first-team debut in 2016.

Marcus Rashford’s kitchen

The kitchen features sleek white cabinets with matching worktops, grey walls, wood floors, and cream stools drawn up to the breakfast bar. Marcus admitted that despite posting videos of himself recently attempting to prepare hash browns, he doesn’t spend much time in the kitchen and instead leaves the cooking to his chef/nutritionist.

As well as an American style fridge, Marcus also has a wine fridge built into the lower cabinets where he stores Coke for his friends!

The open-plan space leads to his square kitchen table which has leather benches, while the lounge area is just visible in the background.

Marcus Rashford’s living room

A large cream velvet corner sofa is topped with mustard cushions that tie in with the paintings on the walls. Speaking of the decor, he admitted: “It’s not bad. I moved into [the home] with my family so my mum did most of the design thing.”

There is a modern cream light fitting, wooden floors and cream curtains covering the doors.

Marcus Rashford’s bedroom

In a video taken in March 2020, Marcus was playing keep-ups with a roll of toilet paper inside what looks like his bedroom. A door behind him leads into the ensuite while his trainers are displayed on a large rack in the corner.

Benni McCarthy has improved Manchester United’s strikers, according to Marcus Rashford

As a specialized strikers coach, Benni McCarthy joined Erik ten Hag’s backroom staff at Man United in July 2022.

Marcus Rashford, a forward for Manchester United, has described in detail how Benni McCarthy’s playing has developed since joining the team in the summer.

McCarthy joined the Reds in July 2022 and joined Erik ten Hag’s backroom staff as a specialist forwards coach. The former Blackburn Rovers striker and Rashford have been collaborating closely this year, and Rashford has been on fire for United.

In 42 games across all competitions this season, Rashford has amassed 26 goals and nine assists, including in the Carabao Cup final, where Ten Hag’s team defeated Newcastle United 2-0 to win their first trophy since 2017.

Rashford has said that United are still far from where McCarthy wants them to be, despite their recent good play and their pursuit of the Europa League and FA Cup this season.

“I think he has done a good job,” Rashford told SuperSport. “It’s always good for us to have a particular coach that concentrates on us as a forwards group. We have worked more as a team going forward which has led us to creating more chances and scoring more goals.

“So, it’s still early days and Benni will tell you himself his aspirations are much bigger than what we’ve done so far. He keeps on pushing us, keeps to try and get us to improve.”

Rashford also insisted that McCarthy has been great with him since he arrived at Old Trafford last summer. The 25-year-old rҽvҽaled that he analyses his performances with the coach and discusses ways in which he can improve.

He added: “Benni has been great with me. Like I said before, with all the forward lads and you have to remember that Benni is part of a full coaching system so everyone plays their roles… so Benni is actually on top of what we need.

“Yes, his relationship with me is very good. We speak a lot, we are always analysing games and showing me ways to improve. You know, small things that can help me make more chances, more goals, maybe create space for other players as well. We are doing a lot of work.”

United’s top goalscorer will be keen to get on the scoresheet when the Reds take on Real Betis in the second leg of their Europa League last-16 tie. Ten Hag’s men boast a 4-1 aggregate lead after cruising to a comfortable win at Old Trafford last week.
