MARCUS Rashford’s Love Islander girlfriend has dumped him — ahead of her speedy return to the villa in the new year.
The Sun on Sunday last month revealed the Man Utd star, 25, had gone on dates with Grace Jackson, also 25, who was on this year’s series of the ITV show.

A source revealed: “Grace realised that Marcus wasn’t serious about her and has unfollowed him on Instagram.
“She realised there was no future so she has decided to cut ties.
“When the opportunity arose to take part in Love Island All Stars this winter Grace jumped at the chance, she is still young in her career and is keen to maximise the exposure to help with her modelling work and net campaign deals.
“If she finds love on the show that’s a bonus, especially since she didn’t meet a suitable match in the summer.
“As far as she is concerned it’s Marcus’ loss, she is putting her best foot forward and can’t wait to enjoy some winter sun in gloomy January.”
Marcus had previously been in a long-term relationship with childhood sweetheart Lucia Loi before they split last year.
In August, former shop worker Grace, who has amassed 594,000 followers on Instagram since leaving the villa, landed a six-figure deal with fashion and shoe brand EGO.
An ITV spokeswoman said: “Any names suggested are speculation until our line-up is officially announced.”
Marcus, who has won 60 senior international caps for England, was dropped from the Manchester derby facing bitter rivals City last weekend and hinted last week that he is ready to leave Old Trafford.
Speaking at a visit to his old primary school, Button Lane, in Manchester, to hand out Christmas presents, he said: “I think I’m ready for a new challenge.”
