Marcus Rashford spotted with a mystery blonde on a lavish Saint-Tropez getaway, wearing TWO luxury watches, a full Louis Vuitton outfit and carrying tobacco pouches as he waits for Man United transfer
Marcus Rashford has been spotted with a mystery blonde companion as he enjoyed a summer holiday in the French Riviera.
In a series of photos the fashion-loving 27-year-old can be seen enjoying the Saint-Tropez sun whilst donning a matching two-piece Louis Vuitton set, with a luxury watch on either arm.
While many of his international team-mates were in Spain for a warm-weather training camp ahead of England's clash with Andorra, Rashford took to the sea on a jet ski as he enjoyed some downtime.
The Nike-sponsored athlete could also be seen wearing the highly-coveted Ben & Jerry's x Dunk Low SB trainers, which can fetch upwards of £3000 among collectors online.
Despite a promising start, Rashford quickly fell out of favour at Manchester United following Ruben Amorim 's arrival as the club's new manager.
The forward was subsequently sent out on loan to Aston Villa, where he made 17 appearances in all competitions, scoring four goals.

Abba singer Björn Ulvaeus teases fans in London with AI-assisted musical
After bringing a blockbuster hologram version of Abba to a purpose-built venue in east London, Björn Ulvaeus's next technological exploration is a musical that he's written with the help of artificial intelligence. Ulvaeus told an audience at SXSW London that he was 'three-quarters' of the way through writing a new musical which he has created with assistance from AI songwriting tools. He did admit the technology had limitations when it comes to songwriting, saying it was 'lousy at [writing a whole song]' and 'very bad at lyrics' but was helpful whenever the 80-year-old songwriter reached a creative impasse. 'You can prompt a lyric you have written about something, and you're stuck maybe, and you want this song to be in a certain style,' Ulvaeus said. 'You can ask it, how would you extend? Where would you go from here? It usually comes out with garbage, but sometimes there is something in it that gives you another idea.' The use of AI is a hugely contentious issue in the music industry. This year, Dua Lipa and Paul McCartney were among hundreds of artists who signed an open letter urging the prime minister to protect artists' copyright and not 'give our work away' to big tech. Ulvaeus said AI isn't the creative threat but rather a collaborator. 'It's fantastic. It is such a great tool,' he added. 'It is like having another songwriter in the room with a huge reference frame. It is really an extension of your mind. You have access to things that you didn't think of before.' The musical is far from Ulvaeus's first flirtation with technology. Abba Voyage, the concert which launched three years ago in a purpose-built arena that featured digital avatars of the band, has been a huge success and was described as a 'dazzling retro-futurist extravaganza' by the Guardian. It was a risky venture as Pophouse Entertainment, the company behind the project needed to bring in £140m in order to break even. He told the audience at SXSW London that he embraced experimental approaches to songwriting and studio technology much earlier in his career. This experimental approach is characteristic of Ulvaeus's career-long fascination with technological innovation. During his time in Abba, he along with bandmate Benny Andersson 'always wanted the latest thing', and were among the first to use the Mini Moog synthesizer and use digital recording machines in their studio. 'We were always on the lookout for, you know, you would hear a sound on the record. How was that done? And then you get that stuff,' said. The Abba songwriter told the audience that he sees AI as the latest evolution in his career rather than a threat which is how it is perceived by many. 'I actually wake up curious every morning,' Ulvaeus said, explaining the drive that has kept him creating decades after Abba's peak. 'Everything's really after our wanting to try new things.'

Finland accidentally call up 51-year-old retiree for international duty
Finland women's national team manager has apologised for mistakenly calling up a long-retired 51-year-old for this week's game against Serbia. When submitting the lineup, manager Outi Saarinen mistakenly entered former player Stina Ruuskanen instead of 23-year-old Djurgarden defender Nanne Ruuskanen. The error was not discovered until past deadline. Ruuskanen, who received her call-up 29 years after playing two senior internationals for Finland, took the mix-up in good humour. "I'm definitely ready if the call comes! Just yesterday I was playing in a hobby league match... so my game feel is good," she told the Finnish newspaper Ilta-Sanomat. The younger Ruuskanen, who is no relation, was unable to take part in the Nations League match, a 1-1 draw in Helsinki on Tuesday. "Nanne was, of course, disappointed but took the news very well considering the circumstances," Saarinen said in a statement from the Finnish Football Association. "I am very sorry for the mistake."

I've found the perfect gift for athletic dads this Father's Day — it can be worn in and out of the gym
'ATHLEISURE' isn't really a word that factors into my life. There are clothes I use to exercise — usually a ratty t-shirt and gym shorts — and clothes I wear out and about. However, I was recently sent some gear from Gym + Coffee, and my eyes were opened to the possibility of clothes that do both. 2 2 As you might be able to tell from the name, Gym + Coffee makes garments designed to take you from your workout to your post-gym social commitments. They might not be smart enough to wear out to dinner, but their sleek, minimalistic design means they're certainly nice enough to wear out to brunch or to run errands. They tick the box that I think all good gym gear should tick: they make you excited to do exercise. Gym+Coffee: Quickfire Q&A How much is it? Moderately priced, if you ask me. My T-shirt was £30, shorts were £40 and the quarter-zip mid layer was £60. Who's it best for? People who like their workout clothes to do the heavy lifting outside the gym as well as in. What we loved: Every item feels really well-made, the sizing is spot-on and it's a welcome change from a sea of Gymshark and Lululemon. I also thought it was really What we didn't: Honestly? Not much. There are a lot of stock issues at the moment, which makes ordering a pain. RATING: 9/10 Coffee Tee in Petrol Blue Coffee Tee in Petrol Blue, £30 from Gym + Coffee In many ways, this is just a standard, breathable workout t-shirt. There's nothing too fancy about the material; it's 88% recycled polyester (which is a nice eco-friendly touch) and 12% elastane, which gives it a nice form-fitting stretch. I really loved the fit of this tee; it's got just a tiny bit of extra length, which means that you won't be exposing your stomach every time you reach your arms above your head. I also liked that it doesn't go over the top with the stretchiness — it's tight enough to be form-fitting, but loose enough that you won't look like an idiot if you decide to go for a pint after your workout. It's also super breathable, soft to the touch and, at £30, it's not silly money. Relentless 1/4 Zip in Petrol Blue Relentless 1/4 Zip in Petrol Blue, £60 from Gym + Coffee BUY HERE This was the surprise standout for me. The Relentless 1/4 Zip is made from ..... It's also a nice design touch to include a raglan sleeve, which extends in one piece up to your collar, rather than stopping at the shoulder. It gives you a bigger range of movement than an ordinary sleeve. While that's nothing groundbreaking, it just shows an attention to detail that I appreciate. Other neat little features include a size pocket with an invisible zip and thumb holes. It says a lot that it's recieved nothing but five-star reviews on the Gym+Coffee site, and that's from 50+ reviews — no mean feat. I think I echo the sentiments of this review: "Fits like a glove. Nice and tight on the arms and chest while not showing off the dad gut. Love it. Highly recommend." Essential 6" Shorts in Petrol Blue Essential 6" Shorts in Petrol Blue, £40 from Gym + Coffee BUY HERE I've always liked a shorter short, especially for working out, but it's worth mentioning that Gym + Coffee sells two versions of these shorts: a six-inch version and an eight-inch version. Weirdly, though, if you have your heart set on Petrol Blue, you'll have to be happy to show some thigh — you can't get the colour in the eight-inch shorts. As with the quarter zip, there's an attention to detail here I like. They have the sort of thick waistband I usually associate with yoga pants, for example, which helps them to stay in place during high-intensity sports. And as a person whose primary form of exercise is tennis, I appreciated that I could fit two tennis balls in the pockets. Some reviewers have called these the best shorts they've ever worn, and I have to agree — they're comfortable, lightweight, and made from a fabric that feels soft, stretchy and high-quality.
