Rashford save one of world’s sexiest footballers from mob of blokes

MANCHESTER United striker Marcus Rashford came to the aid of Aston Villa's Alisha Lehmann on a night out.

He asked staff at a nightclub to usher Aston Villa's Swiss international Alisha Lehmann, 24, to his VIP section when she was mobbed by blokes as she arrived.

A source at Chinawhite Manchester said of his gesture earlier this month: “Marcus cleared a table and invited her and her friends to join them.

"It was the first time they'd met but he knew who Alisha was.

“They exchanged a few words and she thanked him then they carried on partying with their separate sets of friends.

"She thought he was a gent.”

Alisha, who has dated men and women in the past, brought out her first raunchy calendar last Christmas.

It is said to have caused friction with her ex Luiz, 24, before they split.

She is regularly described as one of the world’s hottest footballers - and boasts nearly 13 million followers on Instagram.

In an interview she posted on her Fanzone page last week, she said: “It’s not a bad thing to want to look like a girl and play football.

"I really support that, and I want everyone to be themselves when they play the sport.”

Rashford – engaged to childhood sweetheart Lucia Loi - has scored 29 times for United this season, including one in their 2-2 draw at Spurs on Thursday.
