Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has reportedly been dumped by former Love Island star Grace Jackson, who has decided to move on as the footballer was “not serious about the relationship.”
The 25-year-old model and influencer, who shot to fame on season 11 of the ITV2 dating show, had been spotted on multiple dates with Rashford around Cheshire in recent months, according to The Sun. However, a spokesperson close to Rashford previously denied they were in a relationship.
Grace, from Walkden, Manchester, had a brief but steamy romance with former TOWIE star Joey Essex before their fling reignited on the reality show. Following her sixth-place finish with contestant Reuben Collins, she landed a six-figure deal with fashion brand EGO and is set to star in the upcoming Love Island All Stars series.
A source revealed, “Grace realized that Marcus wasn’t serious about her and has unfollowed him on Instagram. She saw no future in the relationship and decided to cut ties. As far as she’s concerned, it’s Marcus’ loss. She’s putting her best foot forward and can’t wait to enjoy some winter sun in gloomy January.”
The news of their split coincides with Rashford’s professional life being under scrutiny. The England international, who was previously in a long-term relationship with Lucia Loi, was recently left out of Manchester United’s derby clash by head coach Ruben Amorim amid growing speculation that the club may be open to selling him.
Grace is now focusing on her career and gearing up for her next reality TV stint, proving she’s ready to leave the past behind and embrace new opportunities.
What’s Next For Marcus Rashford As His Future Hangs In The Balance?
Manchester United’s patience with the forward’s on- and off-pitch behavior is reportedly wearing thin. The club has set a price for his potential transfer in January and is actively scouting for replacements.
Manager Ruben Amorim, while respectful of Rashford’s talent, has expressed concerns over his lifestyle, inconsistent form, and fitness levels—factors that are increasingly pointing toward a likely move away from Old Trafford.
Developments in Manchester United’s pursuit of a winger are anticipated in the coming days. Meanwhile, the question remains: will any concrete bids for Marcus Rashford emerge in the months ahead? Could Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona, or Fenerbahce be his next destination? Well, only time will tell!
