As England’s national team preps for their upcoming game, Marcus Rashford is taking a different kind of break—soaking up the sun on the French Riviera.
While his teammates are sweating it out in Spain, Rashford was spotted jet-skiing in Saint-Tropez with a mystery blonde by his side, setting the internet alight with speculation.
A Holiday in Style: Rashford Shows Off Luxury Look
Rashford didn’t just make headlines for who he was with—but also what he was wearing.
The 27-year-old forward was dressed head-to-toe in a matching Louis Vuitton ensemble, and that was just the start of it.
On his feet? The ultra-rare Ben & Jerry’s x Nike Dunk Low SB sneakers, which collectors pay over £3,000 for.
And if that wasn’t enough, he had not one, but two luxury watches strapped to his wrists—most notably a Patek Philippe Aquanaut, a timepiece that alone can cost upwards of £115,000.
The full outfit, including both watches, has been estimated to be worth over £210,000.
Speculation Swirls Over His Mystery Companion
Beyond the bling, fans were quick to notice Rashford wasn’t alone.
The mystery blonde accompanying him has already sparked plenty of gossip, especially given that Rashford is believed to be single.
He was briefly linked to former Love Island star Grace Jackson last year, but there’s been no official word on his current relationship status.
Off the Pitch and Out of the Spotlight—for Now
The timing of Rashford’s trip is interesting, considering the uncertainty surrounding his future at Manchester United.
After a rocky spell and inconsistency over the past few seasons, things seemed to be looking up when Ruben Amorim took charge last November. But that revival didn’t last long.
By December, things had gone south again—fast. In a candid interview with journalist Henry Winter, Rashford dropped a bombshell, saying he felt “ready for a new challenge.”
The backlash was immediate, and Amorim didn’t hold back either, suggesting Rashford’s entourage may have played a role in decisions that didn’t fully reflect the player’s own wishes.
A Loan to Aston Villa Brings Mixed Results
Following the drama at United, Rashford was sent on loan to Aston Villa for the remainder of the season.
He managed 17 appearances and scored four goals—solid, but not enough to guarantee a permanent transfer.
According to reports from Germany, Villa isn’t looking to extend his stay.
Barcelona Circle as Transfer Window Opens
Now, all eyes are on Rashford again as the summer transfer window heats up.
Barcelona has made no secret of their interest, with sporting director Deco publicly stating his admiration for the England international. But as usual, money complicates things.
Manchester United is reportedly asking for £40 million—a fee that might be hard to swallow for the financially strapped La Liga champions.
Rashford earns around £315,000 a week, and any deal would likely require Barcelona to shoulder that cost.
United Lean Toward a Permanent Exit
From United’s end, they seem ready to close the Rashford chapter for good.
While a loan with an option to buy has been floated, the club reportedly prefers a full transfer.
If forced into a loan, they’d likely demand a £5–£10 million fee and full wage coverage, plus a future purchase option.
From Teen Star to Transfer Target
Since his debut in 2016, Rashford has been a key figure at Old Trafford.
With 62 England caps and years of experience behind him, he’s one of the most high-profile academy graduates United has produced in recent times.
But after recent tensions and changing dynamics at the club, it seems both sides may be ready for a clean break.
