Manchester United players’ partners in 2026: Who are they dating?

Last Updated on 25 February 2026

Manchester United’s dressing room is a mix of long-standing marriages, and headline-making new relationships. Behind the players, there is a tight circle of partners navigating fame, form, and family alongside the squad.

From childhood sweethearts who knew the players before stardom to influencers stepping into the Premier League spotlight, Manchester United’s WAG landscape is as varied as the team itself. Several stars also entered parenthood or marriage in the past year.

Here’s the latest on the women beside United’s biggest names in 2026. Steady foundations, fresh chapters, and relationships evolving under football’s brightest glare.

Lisandro Martinez & Muri Lopez Benitez

Lisandro Martinez and longtime partner Muri Lopez Benitez remain one of the most admired couples. Their relationship stretches back to childhood in Gualeguay, Argentina. Muri has been by his side since his early Newell’s Old Boys days, long before European stardom.

In late 2025 they announced they were expecting their first child. They shared a baby-scan post that drew congratulations across the squad and by 2026 the couple’s viewed as the club’s most grounded pairing.

Marcus Rashford & Lucia Loi

Marcus Rashford and Lucia Loi’s long-running Manchester love story has entered a settled phase after their high-profile 2023 split and 2025 reconciliation. Having met at school aged 15, their bond predates Rashford’s rise to global fame.

By early 2026 the pair are firmly back together, with Loi widely credited as a stabilising influence during a turbulent period in his career. Their renewed relationship has coincided with Rashford’s push to rediscover top form.

Bruno Fernandes & Ana Pinho

Bruno Fernandes and wife Ana Pinho remain the emotional core of the United squad. High-school sweethearts in Portugal, their early years included Ana supporting Bruno financially.

By 2026 they share two children, Matilde and Goncalo, and a deeply rooted family life. Revered by fans as the “Queen of Old Trafford,” Ana is Bruno’s loudest supporter. She is also his closest confidante, anchoring the captain through every phase of his career.

Matthijs de Ligt & Annekee Molenaar

Matthijs de Ligt and model Annekee Molenaar’s marriage has navigated public speculation after reported strain in 2025 linked to lifestyle differences. Yet by the end of that year, sightings of the pair together in Amsterdam suggested reconciliation.

Molenaar, daughter of former Dutch footballer Keje Molenaar, has been beside De Ligt since his Ajax emergence. In 2026 they appear back on stable footing, continuing one of Europe’s most recognisable football-model partnerships.

Diogo Dalot & Claudia Pinto Lopes

Diogo Dalot and Claudia Pinto Lopes marked a milestone year in 2025. They got married in a grand ceremony at Portugal’s Palacio de Queluz after years together. Their daughter Clara, born in 2023, has already become central to their family life.

Claudia is known within the United circle for understated elegance and visible support. She memorably consoled Dalot on the pitch after the 2025 Europa League final defeat.

Manuel Ugarte & Georgia May Heath

Manuel Ugarte publicly confirmed his relationship with British fashion and beauty creator Georgia May Heath in mid-2025. The pair bring a new high-profile pairing into United’s orbit.

Heath, previously linked to Kylian Mbappe, carried a large following into the relationship. By 2026 the couple are frequently seen shopping in London and socialising across Manchester, presenting one of the squad’s most visible modern influencer-footballer dynamics.
