Marcus Rashford gifts Man Utd tickets to fan who successfully guessed which 1,000 piece jigsaw he was completing
MARCUS Rashford has gifted Manchester United tickets to a fan who successfully guessed he was completing a puzzle about Disney’s The Lion King.
The England star swapped 12-hour tequila benders for nights in working away at the 1,000 piece mindboggler for those aged over 14.
He wrote on X/Twitter: “A few people have asked me about the jigsaw that I have been working on.
“If someone can correctly guess which puzzle it is, I will reward them with two tickets to an upcoming game at OT vs Fulham. Good luck!”
One lucky supporter, named Trey, replied “this one king” with a picture of Ravensburger’s Disney Collector’s Edition Lion King set, which sells for £15.99.
Three Lions hero Rashford, 26, replied: “Trey, these tickets belong to you.
“Could you please send me a direct message with the details?”
He will hope to complete his puzzle before the Red Devils play Fulham at Old Trafford in the Premier League at 3pm on February 24.
Nine time British jigsaw champion Sarah Mills, from Norfolk, admitted her happiness at seeing a famous footballer enjoying her own passion.
She told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “I think it’s nice to have it in the public.
“You’re often sitting there doing it on your own so to bring it out and have conversations about it is always good.”
It comes after The Sun revealed Rashford missed training after partying in Belfast before being dropped from the FA Cup win over Newport County and fined £650,000.
