MARCUS Rashford's Love Islander girlfriend has dumped him – ahead of her quick return to the villa in the New Year.
The Sun revealed on Sunday last month that the Man Utd star, 25, had gone on a date with Grace Jackson, also 25, who was on this year's series of the ITV show.
A source revealed: “Grace realized Marcus wasn't taking her seriously and unfollowed him on Instagram.
“She realized there was no future, so she decided to cut ties.
“When the opportunity arose to take part in Love Island All Stars this winter, Grace jumped at the chance. She is still young in her career and would like to maximize exposure to help with her modeling and internet campaign deals.
“If she finds love on the show it will be a bonus, especially as she didn't meet a suitable match over the summer.
“As far as she is concerned, it is the loss of Marcus. She is putting her best foot forward and can't wait to enjoy the winter sun in gloomy January.”
Marcus had previously been in a long-term relationship with childhood sweetheart Lucia Loi before they split last year.
In August, former retail worker Grace, who has amassed 594,000 Instagram followers since leaving the villa, signed a six-figure deal with fashion and footwear brand EGO.
An ITV spokeswoman said: “All proposed names are speculation until our line-up is officially announced.”
Marcus, who has won 60 international caps for England, was dropped from last weekend's Manchester derby against bitter rivals City and last week hinted he is ready to leave Old Trafford.
On a visit to his old primary school, Button Lane, in Manchester, to hand out Christmas presents, he said: “I think I'm ready for a new challenge.”
