A French model once declared she wanted to "bed an entire Premiership team," that is until she met former Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini.
Model Eglantine Aguilar thought her world had been made when she had struck up a relationship with the big Belgian, but it wasn’t to be.

Back in 2015, Fellaini allegedly left Aguilar heartbroken and raging after it transpired the romance she believed she had with the then-Manchester United ace was not reciprocated.
Eglantine was believed to be left fuming with the former United player, who had begged her to move back to Europe from Los Angeles but then gave her the boot after he’d bedded her.
The pair had allegedly been courting for two months before Fellaini asked her to come and see him after they had traded X-rated pics, though she wasn’t a fan of his frank advances.

Speaking exclusively to the Daily Star back in 2015, the then-22-year-old said of the photos: "I asked, ‘Why have you sent me these?’ It was disrespectful. He wanted pictures of my bum but I said I didn’t do that.
Eventually I sent one and he replied, ‘Holy sh*t, it’s huge’. He said he loved big butts – the bigger the better."
Regardless, Eglantine claimed she decided to move back to Europe and Fellaini booked her a £1,800 plane ticket to the UK within 30 minutes of her making the decision.

She explained: "He wanted to spend time together. I said I didn’t want just sex and he said that wasn’t what he wanted either. We spoke every day.
"He asked if I’d visited England and raved about London – he said it was top but Manchester was just okay. It was economy and I normally fly business but I didn’t mind as I couldn’t wait to see him.”
However, their romance never reached what she had hoped for after it quickly transpired that Fellaini was only allegedly interested in adding his name to the list alongside some of his Premier League rivals.

"He should have been honest from the start,” she said. “I had a good life in LA but I moved back because I liked him. He said he wanted something special. But a few days after I relocated he started ignoring me. I’ve been a fool."
Fellaini’s intentions weren’t the only thing Eglantine wasn’t impressed about, with his performance also falling short. She continued: “After weeks of build up I thought we would have really passionate sex. But there wasn’t much foreplay. He just wanted me to do things to him.
“We had sex in a few positions…he was quite well-endowed. It lasted half an hour. It was fine, just a bit boring.”

Despite Fellaini’s iconic hairdo being adored by his fans, Eglantine was not impressed. “When I looked up I could see this long, curly hair. It was like being in bed with a woman. It kept tickling me and getting in the way," she moaned.
The next night, the couple allegedly met again as they dined out before heading home for more action. But Eglantine was still left short changed, she said: “It was even quicker than the night before, maybe about 15 minutes. We just did it once. It wasn’t any better.”
However, the spark abruptly ended as Fellaini ignored her calls and text, as he claimed he was ‘busy’.

Their relationship eventually ended when Eglantine confronted him and called him a liar: “I told him he should have been honest with me from the start and admitted he’d just wanted sex. He used me. Now I have no job and no boyfriend – I was foolish to believe him.”
