Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford made headlines recently for coming to the aid of Swiss international Alisha Lehmann, who was mobbed by fans at a nightclub in Manchester.

The 24-year-old Aston Villa player, known as one of the world’s sexiest footballers, was reportedly escorted to Rashford’s VIP section at Chinawhite Manchester on the footballer’s request.

According to a source, Rashford cleared a table and invited Lehmann and her friends to join him and his friends. It was the first time they met, but Rashford was aware of who Lehmann was. The two exchanged a few words before continuing to party with their respective groups of friends.

Lehmann, who has dated both men and women in the past, is also known for releasing her first raunchy calendar last Christmas, which caused friction with her ex-boyfriend Luiz before they split.

Despite this, Lehmann has always been an advocate of being true to oneself and embracing individuality. In a recent interview on her Fanzone page, she spoke about wanting everyone to be themselves when they play football, even if that meant being feminine.

Meanwhile, Rashford has been having a great season, scoring 29 goals for United so far, including one in their recent 2-2 draw at Spurs. The 23-year-old is engaged to his childhood sweetheart Lucia Loi, and has been known for his charitable works off the pitch, including campaigning for free school meals for children during the pandemic.

Rashford’s gesture towards Lehmann has been well received by fans, with many praising him for being a gentleman.
