Lucia is thought to have been dating Rashford since they were at school together.

Their relationship has mainly been kept out of the public eye, but she has appeared alongside the England forward on a few occasions.

One of those was when she was spotted in the stands during the infamous win over Colombia at the 2018 World Cup.

Lucia also shared a snap of the pair to celebrate Rashford’s birthday in 2016, suggesting they are long-term partners.

It has also been reported that the player celebrated breaking into the United first-team by playing pool in Lucia’s common room Ashton on Mersey School, in Sale, Greater Manchester.

The gorgeous brunette’s success comes shortly after Rashford managed to persuade the government to make a u-turn on their decision to stop giving out free school meals.

Underprivileged children will now receive a £15 voucher every week over the summer holidays to keep them fed.

Shortly after Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced the change, Rashford said: "This was never about me or you, this was never about politics, this was a cry out for help from vulnerable parents all over the country and I simply provided a platform for their voices to be heard.

"I stand proud today knowing that we have listened, and we have done what is right. There is still a long way to go but I am thankful to you all that we have given these families just one less thing to worry about tonight.

"The wellbeing of our children should ALWAYS be a priority."
