On February 28, 2016, soccer saw a fine young talent net a brace against Arsenal in the Premier League. Marcus Rashford introduced himself as one of the biggest potentials in the Red Devils’ future. But the star also had a love life besides soccer. Rashford broke up with his ex-girlfriend, Lucia Loi, a couple of months ago, and his current relationship status seems to be single. But who is Loi, and why did they break up?

Rashford has been a constant performer for United in the past few years and is also an integral part of Gareth Southgate’s national squad. Hence, the winger’s fans were curious about his breakup and love life. However, even Loi has gained a considerable amount of interest from soccer enthusiasts around the globe, and we look at all the information about the British lady.

Lucia Loi, the former support system for Marcus Rashford off the field

Lucia was born in Manchester on August 4, 1997. She was a PPR executive at Sugar, a PR firm in the city. She also has a degree in advertising and brand management from Manchester Metropolitan University and excelled with first class. The lady was already in a relationship with the star when she was at the university.

Having been a part of Rashford’s journey even before his Manchester United career began, Lucia split with Rashford briefly in 2021. The former couple first met at Ashton on Mersey School in Sale, Manchester. The couple then steadied the journey until 2021, citing lockdown pressures as the reason for their split.

Nevertheless, the duo once again reunited in 2022 after an 8-month gap. Rashford took the opportunity to prose her in Los Angeles. Both of them have known each other since their teenage years, have a good rapport between them, and claim to be in touch despite being away. Loi has always cheered the star wherever he went and was also seen alongside him in many games. The couple also got engaged in June 2023 but had to call quits later.

Reports suggest that there were no particular reasons for their breakup. A source claimed to have said, “Marcus and Lucia haven’t been together for a number of months. It’s nothing complicated; the relationship ran its course, and they remain very close friends and have a lot of mutual respect for one another,” stating nothing extravagant.
