Manchester United teammates Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford were spotted soaking up the sun in Turks and Caicos earlier in July.

The duo, who are close friends, were seen enjoying the Caribbean islands’ warm weather on Friday, spending the day at the beach with friends.

While Rashford chatted away to friends on the shore, Sancho tried his hand at paddleboarding in the ocean’s crystal-clear waters. It was no surprise that the 21-year-old was all smiles, having just signed a £73 million deal with Manchester United.

The England stars were joined at the beach by a group of male friends, including Krept from rap duo Krept & Konan, and three glamorous women who lounged on the beach in string bikinis and a floaty black cover-up.

The vacation came just a few days after England’s loss to Italy in the Euro 2020 final on July 11, which was a devastating blow for the duo.

Rashford, who welcomed his England teammate to the club in a tweet reading ‘welcome brother’ minutes after the news was announced, seemed relaxed and fresh in a crisp white T-shirt and matching shorts.

The duo, who are known for their charitable efforts off the pitch, seemed to be enjoying some much-needed downtime after a busy season.

The Manchester United faithful will be hoping that the duo’s off-pitch chemistry will translate into on-pitch success as the team aims to improve on its second-place finish in the Premier League last season.
