Morgan Schneiderlin proposes to girlfriend Camille… after Manchester United star met £10-an-hour Adidas shop girl last year
- Morgan Schneiderlin proposed to girlfriend Camille Sold while on holiday
- The France star was left out of the squad for recent international friendlies
- Schneiderlin and his partner jetted off to the French Riviera during break
- The 26-year-old midfielder met the 21-year-old Adidas shop girl last year
- She was in the Manchester United end during their 1-0 win at the Etihad
She was a shop assistant who earned just £10-an-hour working in the Adidas store in Manchester City Centre, and he was the £120,000-a-week Manchester United star.
Now, Camille Sold is preparing to marry midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin after he jetted her off to the French Riviera and got down on one knee following a whirlwind romance.
Miss Sold, who begun dating the footballer last year, confirmed the happy news on her Instagram account on Thursday morning 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.'
The 26-year-old France midfielder suffered disappointment when he was left out Didier Deschamps' squad for the recent friendlies against Holland and Russia.
But the former Southampton star put the snub behind him and made the most of the international break, popping the question to the delight of his partner.
The pair have clearly been enjoying themselves while on their break with Miss Sold posting a string of pictures showing off the picturesque views they were treated to in France.

Two days ago, she posted a picture of two luscious cocktails with a stunning backdrop of a white, sandy beach and bright azure sea in the luxurious location.
Earlier that day there was a picture of a stunning white terrace looking out over the sea, with perfect blue sky and picturesque cliffs in the distance.
But Miss Sold is clearly not one to live the life of luxury without going out and earning her own crust. Last year, it was revealed she was making £10-an-hour as a shop girl at an Adidas store in Manchester city centre.
Camille Sold from Strasbourg, who began dating her countryman last year, was pictured at work in Adidas store wearing United shirt with Schneiderlin's squad No 28 and her first name
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, whereas the midfielder pockets more than £5million-a-year.
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.
During an interview in 2012, she told Oops magazine: 'I get plenty of fiery messages and declarations of love on social networks. And even at home! I received letters, bouquets of flowers.'
It is not known exactly where the couple met, but they are both from the Alsace region in France and got together at the beginning of 2015. In May last year, he announced that they were official with a picture of them together on his Instagram account.
He wrote: 'Family dinner with the woman who share my life for 5 month now ! Je t'aime,' with the picture of them cuddling.
It is believed that she later flew out to England to join her partner, shortly before he made the move from Southampton to Manchester, but took the job in a shop while she got to know the city.

Sold showed her commitment to the cause by revealing her scarf, which has a picture of her partner on it
Since the couple's whirlwind romance began, both Schneiderlin and his partner have regularly kept their Instagram accounts updated with pictures of each other.
Earlier this month, Miss Sold, 21, was among the away supporters at the Etihad Stadium as United secured a narrow 1-0 Premier League victory against noisy neighbours City.
Marcus Rashford popped up with a memorable winner to secure a vital three points for the travelling fans - and Schneiderlin's partner joined in on the celebrations by uploading a video on Instagram.
She uploaded the short clip to her Instagram account, which shows her celebrating the win with the supporters after the final whistle.

Miss Sold also showed her commitment to the cause by revealing her scarf, which has a picture of her partner on it.
She wrote: 'Always support my babe even if he has big ears on this scarf.'
Schneiderlin arrived at Old Trafford last summer in a £25million move from Southampton after impressing during seven seasons at St Mary's.
The Frenchman has made 23 Premier League appearances for Louis van Gaal's side this season but has been a victim of the Dutchman's rotation policy.
But he'll be hoping to impress in the remaining eight matches of the season and book a spot in Deschamps' 23-man squad for the European Championship on home soil.
