Manchester United star, Marcus Rashford is engaged to marry his longtime girlfriend, Lucia Loi.
The professional English player popped the marriage question during their getaway in California on Wednesday, May 25.

An insider source who spoke with The Sun said,
“They went out in LA for a romantic night together on Tuesday and he proposed. It was extremely romantic.
“They celebrated afterwards with a group of close friends including his United teammate Jesse Lingard.”
The couple took to their respective Instagram pages to announce news of their engagement on Wednesday evening.
They shared a lovely picture of them hugging each other as they stood atop a bed of white roses in front of a love-shaped archway.

The professional footballer made this known during a question and answer session on Twitter as he willfully answered random questions from his followers.
A follower had asked if he listens to Afrobeat since he has a huge fan base in Nigeria. He also asked for the name of his favorite song and artiste, if he listens to the popular Afrobeat genre.
“Got lots of fans in Nigerian, do you listen to afrobeats ?? And what’s your favourite Afrobeats song at the moment? And who is your favourite afrobeats artist ?, ✌🏼” the fan asked.
The football legend responded to the three-pack question with one word – the name of globally recognized Grammy award winner, Burna Boy.
