Marcus Rashford ‘is dating former Love Island contestant Grace Rosa Jackson

Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford is reportedly dating former Love Island contestant Grace Rosa Jackson.

Model and influencer Jackson, 25, featured in season 11 of the ITV2 dating show and she very briefly 'coupled' with Joey Essex.

This came after she and former TOWIE star Essex enjoyed a holiday romance in 2023.

But according to The Sun, Jackson has moved on and has gone on several dates with Rashford, 27, in the Cheshire area in recent months.

Rashford previously had a long-term relationship with childhood sweetheart Lucia Loi before they split in the summer of 2023.

Jackson is likely to be an avid spectator on Sunday when Rashford plays Everton in United's first home game in the Premier League under new manager Ruben Amorim.

Like Rashford, his new love interest has a very busy lifestyle that involves a lot of travel.

Before heading to Love Island, she said: 'I like going out and going abroad a lot.

'They can't keep up with my lifestyle!

“It's the life I want, and it helps my business.

“To sit around and be single, I don't understand why I would do that in my prime and mid-20s.”

Rashford has scored just two goals in 12 league games so far this season, after scoring seven in 33 last season.

His best attacking return to date came in the 2022/23 season, when he scored 17 times in 35 Premier League games as part of a 30-goal streak in all competitions.

Rashford has won 60 international caps for England, but he has represented his country just once this year and was not included in Gareth Southgate's squad for the 2024 European Championship last summer.

Rashford has spent his entire club career at United.

After making his first-team debut in 2016, he has made 422 senior appearances.

He has currently scored 136 goals for United, which puts him twelfth on the club's all-time top scorer list.

The next player above Rashford on that list is Cristiano Ronaldo at 145.

Rashford's current contract at Old Trafford expires in June 2028.

His deal is believed to be worth more than £300,000-a-week.
