Kylian Mbappe's ex-girlfriend spotted shopping with Man U star after confirming their relationship
Manchester United midfielder Manuel Ugarte, 24, was seen enjoying a low-key shopping trip with his new partner, Georgia May Heath, at Waitrose in North London.
What’s the gossip?
Heath, a British fashion and beauty influencer with a social media following of over 230,000, is rumoured to be the ex-girlfriend of Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappé, with whom Ugarte shared a dressing room during their time together at PSG.
Clad in casual attire, the couple carried typical shopping items.
Photos published by The Sun, showed Heath sporting a light grey tracksuit and Ugarte looking relaxed as they strolled side by side.
Though decidedly mundane, the outing marks their first public appearance in the UK since publicly confirming their relationship.
Their relationship went public in earnest last month when Ugarte shared an Instagram post of the pair aboard a luxurious yacht in Spain, tagging Heath with a heart emoji.
Georgia’s ex Mbappé reportedly also fuelled fan buzz after liking the post himself.
Rumours of the pairing had been simmering since April, after eagle-eyed fans noticed that backgrounds in some of Heath’s posts bore an uncanny resemblance to Ugarte’s home décor.
Ugarte’s season so far
While United’s season has been marked by middling form, Ugarte himself is yet to cement a regular starting spot under Ruben Amorim.
While flashes of his combative style have impressed fans, inconsistency in United’s midfield and the team’s uneven early-season form have limited his impact, leaving many wondering if he can replicate the dominant displays that earned him his reputation in Portugal and France.
This week, the Uruguay international is expected to return to action for the Red Devils, who are still looking for their first win of the new season.
United travel to Blundell Park to play Grimbsy Town in the second round of the EFL Cup.
