New transfer interest emerges for Marcus Rashford as Italian club want loan deal | OneFootball

AC Milan are interested in taking Marcus Rashford on loan as they look to offer him a route out of Manchester United.

The Serie A club’s interest is not advanced at this stage but United are aware that Rashford is wanted at San Siro.

The 27-year-old said last month he was “ready for a new challenge” after spending his entire career at Old Trafford and falling out of favour under new head coach Ruben Amorim.

Rashford was excluded from the matchday squad for four games before he was an unused substitute for last Monday’s defeat to Newcastle and then ill for Sunday’s trip to Liverpool.

He has spurned interest from three Saudi Arabian clubs as he looks to play in a major league and to try and regain his place in the England squad.

Rashford’s huge salary would bring questions in negotiations if United were willing to subsidise a loan deal elsewhere.

He signed a new deal after scoring a career-best 30 goals in the 2022-23 season and has struck 138 times in 426 games for United.

Milan appointed Sergio Conceicao their manager last week and are only eighth in Serie A, having scored fewer goals than each of the top six, as they look to revive their season.

United are also fielding interest from foreign clubs for two of their other forwards with Joshua Zirkzee wanted on loan by Juventus and Real Betis among several who hope to take Antony for the rest of the season. United are keen to keep Zirkzee.
