Manchester United are anticipating formal loan offers from AC Milan and Borussia Dortmund for Marcus Rashford, according to sources at ESPN. Both clubs have expressed interest in the forward to his representatives.
With new head coach Ruben Amorim having sidelined him, United are actively exploring options for Rashford during the January transfer window. The club is open to considering all offers, including permanent transfers and loan deals. Napoli is also reportedly interested in the 27-year-old.
Sources at ESPN suggest that a loan move is the most likely outcome this month if Rashford departs Old Trafford. However, the possibility of him remaining at the club beyond the transfer deadline has not been ruled out.
Both Milan and Dortmund are expected to contribute significantly towards Rashford’s substantial weekly salary of around £350,000 ($436,000). This significant salary represents a major hurdle in any potential transfer.
While United are willing to be flexible to facilitate a move, they are determined to avoid a situation similar to Raheem Sterling’s transfer to Arsenal, where Chelsea continued to cover a large portion of the winger’s wages.
Rashford is also open to interest from Spanish clubs, particularly Barcelona, but their current financial constraints could complicate any potential move.
United have not ruled out exploring potential interest from other Premier League clubs, including Arsenal, Chelsea, and Tottenham Hotspur.
Due to their delicate financial situation, United are actively reviewing offers for all members of their first-team squad.
While the club is not actively seeking to offload players like Kobbie Mainoo, sources at ESPN indicate that no player is considered untouchable as they strive to balance their finances.
Despite slow progress in contract extension negotiations, Mainoo, according to sources, is keen to remain at Old Trafford. His current contract extends until 2027 with an option for an additional year.
