Marcus Rashford’s potential AC Milan move in doubt after Noah Okafor’s failed transfer | OneFootball

Manchester United continue to face stumbling blocks in their attempts to offload Marcus Rashford, as per reports.

Ruben Amorim refused to provide much detail when asked about Rashford’s absence from his matchday squad to face Arsenal in the FA Cup.

It’s been more than a month since the Englishman last featured for the Red Devils and multiple reports have suggested United are open to listening to offers for him amid concerns over his off-field antics.

The 27-year-old has attracted interest from a number of clubs but his wages, thought to be north of £300k-a-week, have proven to be a huge obstacle for his suitors.

AC Milan, who are advised by former United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, have shown the most determination to sign Rashford so far.

Recently, The Peoples Person relayed a report claiming Milan were working to offload Noah Okafor to create space for the England international.

RB Leipzig showed interest in signing Okafor this month but now it has emerged that the move has collapsed as the Milan winger failed to prove his fitness during his medical tests.

This development could potentially scupper the Rossoneri’s transfer plans, including their hopes of landing Rashford.

Similarly, Barcelona’s pursuit of Rashford has also become trickier after Iñigo Martínez suffered an injury in the Spanish Super Cup.

This may force the Catalan giants to keep Ronald Araujo at Camp Nou.

Juventus are allegedly keen on signing the Uruguayan and his sale could potentially help Barca sign Rashford as a winter sale would help the club comply with the 1:1 rule in Spanish football.

Alejandro Garnacho is another United player to have attracted interest from elsewhere. It is believed Napoli are pushing to sign the Argentine, having already made a bid to secure his services.
