Man Utd ace Marcus Rashford grows close to Colombian model after they’re seen cosying up in VIP area of trendy nightclub
OUT-of-form Manchester United star Marcus Rashford is having more luck at international level — growing close to Colombia-born model Erica Correa.
They were seen cosying up in the VIP section of a trendy nightclub before leaving together through a rear door.
A source said: “Whatever his form on the pitch, off of it Marcus is delivering the goods.
“He looked like the cat that got the cream on Erica’s arm. They were having a ball.
“Marcus and Erica were tactile and clearly enjoying each other’s company.”
Fans speculated on social media that Rashford, 26, lost his “lucky charm” when he split from fiancée Lucia Loi after rumours of a brief reconciliation in November. They had been together for ten years.
His lack of goals for the Red Devils appears to have left him fighting for his place in the England squad for this summer’s Euros in Germany.
But supporters will hope 29-year-old Erica gets him heading in the right direction.
They were spotted on Sunday giggling over drinks at Blvd Manchester. Security guards escorted them upstairs to a VIP area for an r’n’b night.
Other models at the Slow Jam Soiree included sisters Poppy and Georgia Bayliss, and Emma Milton.
But pals said Rashford was only interested in chatting to Erica. And, at one stage, the ace’s entourage surrounded the pair as they shared a discreet conversation.
Erica moved to Liverpool when she was five. She was scouted by a model agency boss while shopping in the city centre and at 13 was asked to walk in a fashion show at Liverpool Cathedral.
She later recalled: “I fell in love with the experience and there was no going back.”
Her modelling job has led to her living in India, Greece, Italy and the US.
She has appeared in glossy mags including GQ, Harper’s Bazaar, Grazia, Women’s Health and Elle as well as in a music video for singer Tom Grennan.
A spokeswoman for Rashford confirmed he was at the nightclub — eating pizza with pals.
