Marcus Rashford has always been a news-maker. Be it his football talent, his charity initiatives or his beautiful girlfriend and now fiance, Lucia Loi, he has always found a way to be in the headlines.

Born and bred in Manchester, Rashford broke through the senior ranks in the 2015/2016 season with an impressive Premier League debut against Arsenal.

He was one of the most in-form players in the league this season, especially after the World Cup break. But away from his football life, what does the forward do?

We know for a fact that he was heavily involved in fighting hunger among vulnerable families in the United Kingdom during the coronavirus pandemic. He received a lot of recognition for this, including the Order of the British Empire (MBE).
