According to , Rashford’s entourage are holding talks with United chiefs. It is claimed that a loan departure until the end of the season is not off the table.
Milan are one of the teams interested in a potential switch. The report adds that Milan advisor and former United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic is ‘in no doubt’ that Rashford is the right man to complete the Serie A side’s attack.
It comes after Ibrahimovic publicly intervened in the speculation, telling Sky Sports: “Rashford? I know him very well. I played alongside him in his youth. He has accomplished remarkable feats with and remains one of their standout players.

It is widely thought that Milan believe they lead the race to sign Rashford. They are prepared to ditch a move for defender Kyle Walker and prioritise the right-back’s England team-mate. Serie A clubs can only register two non-EU players per season.
Rashford made a rare post on social media on Tuesday evening, posting a video of him on an exercise bike at United’s Carrington training ground. His situation remains a mystery as he continues to be United’s highest scorer this season, albeit with four.
Only Alejandro Garnacho’s eight goals are better than Rashford’s seven across all competitions. Both players were dropped for December’s Manchester derby but Garnacho has long since returned.
