    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    According to The Sun, Rashford has requested that his former fiancee helps him to settle in Barcelona so that he can fully focus on playing football and revive his career at the Catalan side. Rashford has been given the No.14 shirt, an iconic number which was previously worn by legends like Thierry Henry and Ronald Koeman.

  • WHAT HAS BEEN SAID

    On Rashford rekindling his relationship with Loi, a source told The Sun: "Marcus knows that some of the best moments in his career have occurred when Lucia has been at his side. They got together when they were very young and have had ups and downs, but a friendship has always remained.

    "He knows that she is good for him and she is one of the few people in the world he knows has got his best interests at heart. She is very sensible and helps keep him grounded."
