Marcus sent tongues wagging as he partied into the early hours before heading back to his hotel with Courtney.
The footballer enjoyed a night out at club Mr Jones, with pictures showing him being flocked by a number of girls outside the venue.
During the night, Marcus is said to have enjoyed champagne and food at an exclusive cabana with private five-star hospitality service.

She also sells workout and meal plans online, and regularly partners with well known fitness brands on social media.

‘Marcus was lucky to spend time with her. She is really something special.’
MailOnline has contacted representatives for Marcus for comment.
Courtney has a huge social media following, with 516,000 TikTok followers and a further 117,000 on Instagram.
It comes after it was revealed Marcus split from his childhood sweetheart fiancée Lucia ‘months ago’.
The former couple got engaged in May last year but according to a source ‘the relationship ran its course’, with the pair remaining ‘very close friends’.
A source told MailOnline of the split: ‘Marcus and Lucia haven’t been together for a number of months. It’s nothing complicated; the relationship ran its course and they remain very close friends, and have a lot of mutual respect for one another.’
‘Marcus is laser-focused on the next phase of his football career and is putting all of his focus in to that. He is about to come back to the UK after a successful trip coaching kids in Miami, and heads to England’s training camp this week.’
Marcus and Lucia got engaged in May last year and jetted off on holiday together as recent as three months ago.
He proposed on a postseason getaway in California after had been dating since the age of 15 when they were pupils at Ashton on Mersey school in Greater Manchester.
Marcus had been planning the proposal for weeks and popped the question to Lucia at a lavish villa after they shared a romantic meal at celebrity seafood restaurant Catch LA, a source told The Sun.
‘They went out in LA for a romantic night together on Tuesday and he proposed. It was extremely romantic.
‘They celebrated afterwards with a group of close friends — including his United teammate Jesse Lingard,’ the source said.
Marcus shared news of the engagement on Instagram, posting an image of the pair embracing as they stood atop a bed of white roses in front of a heart-shaped archway.
Another source said: ‘All involved are thrilled at the recent news of the engagement,’ and spoke of Lucia’s influence on the Premier League star, who has received plaudits for his charitable work off the field but has struggled to perform on it since having shoulder surgery.
‘Lucia has been a big part of Marcus’ life… offering stability, a sense of belonging and assurance that can be rare to find,’ the source told The Sun.
The high school sweethearts had been together for eight years when difficulties associated with the Covid pandemic triggered a split.
But the pair confirmed they had reunited in January of last year.
