Marcus Rashford ‘spotted cosying up to Colombian-born model Erica Correa on a night out in Manchester

During a night out in Manchester on Sunday, Marcus Rashford was reportedly seen cuddling up to model Erica Correa, who was born in Colombia. 

In the summer of 2023, the Manchester United player reportedly ended his relationship with his young sweetheart Lucia Loi. Since then, he has been single. 

Rashford proposed to Loi in May 2022 at a post-season getaway in California; the two were 26 years old at the time. They began dating when Loi was 15 years old, while they were both students at Ashton on Mersey school in Greater Manchester. 

Their romance reportedly had “run its course” when they decided to split up in June of the following year, though they remained “very close friends,” according to sources. 

Speculation swirled in November when Rashford and his ex-fiancee were seen having supper at a French wine bar in Manchester. However, since then, Loi and the England player have remained out of the public eye. 

The Sun reports that Rashford has reportedly moved on from his ex-girlfriend and formed a strong bond with Correa, who relocated to Liverpool when she was five years old, became a famous model after being seen on the streets of the city at thirteen years old, and is now a free agent.

“Marcus is delivering the goods, off the pitch as well as on it,” a source told the publication.He resembled the feline that licked Erica’s arm. They couldn’t stop laughing.

“Marcus and Erica were physically close, and it was obvious that they were having fun together.”

After a long night of R&B at the venue’s Slow Jam Soiree, the couple reportedly ended their evening in the VIP area of the pub, where Rashford’s entourage shielded them from onlookers while they had an intimate conversation. 

The player had a great time at the club that night, according to Rashford’s representative who verified it to the Sun. 

Correa, a 29-year-old model who was born and raised in Liverpool, has lived and worked in several countries throughout her career. 

Tom Grennan’s music video for his track ‘Sober’ featured Correa, who has also been featured in publications like Ella, Harper’s Bazaar, Grazia, Harper’s GQ, and Harper’s Bazaar. 

Under Erik ten Hag’s tutelage, Rashford has been wildly inconsistent this season, leading some to question whether or not the academy graduate’s romance with Loi had been a lucky charm.

Music videos have featured Correa in addition to her work as a model for commercials and photoshoots.

On Friday, the athlete revealed on social media that he has endured “months of abuse” from specific fans, shedding light on the strain he had been under this season. 

Reports suggest that Manchester United may put Marcus Rashford up for sale this summer as new part-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe overhauls the team. If this happens, Rashford might try to regain his incredible form away from Old Trafford. 

It is believed that Paris Saint-Germain, who met with Marcus Rashford’s representation two years ago, are still considering moving on with the 26-year-old, who is among several regular starts who might be traded during the forthcoming transfer window.   

United are not ɾumоured to be trying to trade players just yet, but they will need to increase their transfer budget through sales.

It is thought that the club is eager to bring in a new striker, central midfielder, and right-sided center back, but they might not have the financial wherewithal to pay the huge sums that have been typical in previous years.

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.
