Manchester United expect AC Milan and Borussia Dortmund to make formal loan offers for Marcus Rashford after both clubs registered interest with the player’s agent, sources have told ESPN. It is said that they are doing so.
United are actively working on a solution for Rashford in January, as the England forward has fallen out of favor under new head coach Ruben Amorim.
Rashford has not featured since the 2-1 win against FC Viktoria Plzen on December 12. The club intends to listen to all offers for the 27-year-old, both on a permanent contract and on loan. Napoli are also thought to be interested in Rashford.
Sources have told ESPN that the most likely outcome this month is a straight loan if he leaves Old Trafford. The possibility of Rashford staying at United beyond the deadline has not been ruled out.
Both Milan and Dortmund are expected to pay a significant portion of Rashford’s wages before a deal is agreed.
His weekly salary of about 350,000 pounds (about $436,000) is a major stumbling block. United are willing to be flexible in order to facilitate a transfer, but leaders have vowed not to repeat what happened with Raheem Sterling’s move to Arsenal, where Chelsea agreed to continue paying almost 90% of the player’s wages. are.
Rashford would also welcome interest from Spain, particularly Barcelona, ​​although the financial situation would complicate any potential move.
United have also not ruled out entering into negotiations with other Premier League clubs if the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham decide to register an interest.
United’s delicate financial situation also means they will have to listen to offers from all members of the first-team squad.
The club isn’t actively considering releasing players like Koby Mainu, but sources told ESPN that no players will be off-limits to make ends meet.
Sources say Mainoo wants to remain at Old Trafford despite slow progress in talks to extend his contract.
The England midfielder’s contract runs until 2027, with an option to extend for a further year.
