Man United fans believe Marcus Rashford’s new girlfriend is the key to his brilliant upturn in form.
Marcus Rashford’s stellar performance in Manchester United’s 4-0 thrashing of Everton on Sunday has fans buzzing, not just for his brace but for what some are calling his ‘secret weapon’ — his love life.
The 27-year-old forward dazzled at Old Trafford, opening the scoring in the 34th minute and netting another just seconds into the second half.
His teammate Joshua Zirkzee added to the excitement, bagging two goals of his own, marking the team’s first Premier League win under new manager Ruben Amorim.
But while Rashford’s performance on the pitch was undoubtedly impressive, fans couldn’t help but credit his reported relationship with former Love Island star Grace Jackson for his sudden return to form.
Social media reactions as Marcus Rashford’s girlfriend steals headlines
Social media was alight with cheeky commentary, as fans linked Rashford’s on-field brilliance to his new off-field romance.
One fan humorously wrote, “Rashford is the funniest player on earth. We can literally predict his purple patch. New manager and new girlfriend!? He’s ending up as top scorer in the league.”
The debate didn’t stop there.
Another fan chimed in on X, saying, “Wait… Rashford has a new girlfriend? It’s over for the Premier League.”
The internet wasn’t done teasing, as another comment suggested, “Amorim needs to get Rashford a new girlfriend every season — this is the key to his form lmao.”
Perhaps the sharpest jab came from a fan who quipped, “They saying Rashford is a girlfriend merchant.”
While Rashford hasn’t addressed the speculation, his performance has certainly silenced critics for now.
Whether it’s love, a new manager, or both, something has reignited Rashford’s fire, and fans are here for it.
