Man Utd’s Marcus Rashford tie knot with lover

Marcus Rashford is officially set to tie the knot after getting engaged to his childhood sweetheart Lucia Loi.

The 24-year-old footballer confirmed the joyous news on his social media, posting a picture of the pair kissing in front of a giant love heart made of flowers, with candles and rose petals surrounding them.

Manchester United‘s official Instagram account led the congratulations as celebrity friends and fellow sporting stars rushed to congratulate him.

‘So happy for you both,’ they wrote.

According to reports, Marcus had been planning the proposal for quite some time and popped the question during a romantic holiday in Hollywood.

‘They went out in LA for a romantic night together on Tuesday and he proposed there and then. It was extremely romantic,’ an insider said.

Marcus and Lucia started dating when he was just 15. The couple is thought to have split in February 2021 but were rumoured to have reconciled by December.

‘The intent for them to get back together has always been there,’ an insider said at the time. ‘The break was good for their relationship as it offered them both space and assurance that they wanted to make this work moving forward.

‘They have been together since school so an opportunity to breathe and focus on themselves was important.’
