Adidas store girl to marry millionaire Manchester United star

Super-rich boy meets humble girl, they fall in love, get married and live happily ever after - these things don't just happen in the movies, really.

Camille Sold was a shop assistant who earned just £10-an-hour (around Dh53) working in the Adidas store in Manchester City Centre, and Morgan Schneiderlin was the £120,000-a-week (around Dh638806) Manchester United star.

The management and marketing student from Strasbourg was pictured at work in the store wearing a Manchester United shirt with his squad No 28 and her first name.

She earned £15,000-a-year working on the tills and the shop floor of the store.

At the time, the couple were living in the Lowry Hotel in nearby Salford and Schneiderlin was regularly seen picking his girlfriend up from work before they headed back to their temporary home.

It's not yet known if she still works at the store, or if she will continue to work when she is wed to the super-rich footballer, but she looked as though she might have other career hopes a few years ago.

Miss Sold is no stranger to the spotlight having been a contestant on reality TV series KohLanta, France's version of Survivor, in 2012, before being eliminated.

During the show, when she was just 18, she won her share of admirers as she was seen on TV screens rarely wearing more than a bikini.

Now, Miss Sold is preparing to marry the midfielder after he jetted her off to the French Riviera and got down on one knee following a whirlwind romance.

Sold, who began dating the footballer last year, confirmed the happy news on her Instagram account by posting a picture of the couple toasting their engagement.

She captioned the post: 'An amazing evening, in an incredible place. Just us and the sound of the waves... Can't describe my feeling... No words, it was just unreal... I feel like the luckiest woman #love #amour #reallove #happiness #engagmentring #29mars2016 #infinity #8.'
