AC Milan has reportedly submitted an official bid to Manchester United for Marcus Rashford, with the player’s representatives traveling to Italy to hold talks with the club’s officials.
United fans were taken aback when Rashford revealed to journalist Henry Winter his desire to leave for a “new challenge.” Despite his lifelong allegiance to the club and development through its academy, the forward seems ready to move on.
Rashford’s form has dipped this season, managing just seven goals in 24 appearances. This has led to speculation that the pressure of being a central figure at United is affecting his performance. At 27, he appears to be heeding advice from pundits who have suggested that a move might be necessary to reignite his career.
AC Milan has emerged as a strong contender for the England international. Italian transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio, as reported by Team Talk, claims Milan has proposed a loan-to-buy deal to United.
While United has yet to respond, Rashford’s agents’ presence in Italy suggests that negotiations may be progressing.
Borussia Dortmund and Juventus are also reportedly vying for Rashford’s signature. His representatives are expected to meet with officials from both clubs in the coming days to evaluate the best fit for his next move.
