Unless the situation turns around, Marcus Rashford’s future should no longer be written at Manchester United. While he no longer figures in coach Ruben Amorim’s plans, the English striker sees his name linked to several clubs on both sides of Europe. Among them, AC Milan is announced as one of the big contenders for the recruitment of the number 10 of the Red Devils.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic, sporting advisor to Milan leaders, reacted to rumors surrounding Rashford’s arrival at San Siro this winter. And the Swede’s recent statements confirm an interest from the Lombard club in the child from Manchester.
“All the players want to come here”
“I know Marcus very well, we played together at Manchester United when he was younger. It won’t take much to convince him to sign, because Milan is one of the biggest clubs in the world and all the players want to come here. But it’s not an easy deal with Manchester, we’ll see whether or not we start negotiations.”replied the former Parisian at the microphone of Sky Sport Italia.
As a reminder, The Athletic revealed that Rashford’s agents traveled to Italy on Tuesday to begin initial discussions with AC Milan’s recruitment department regarding a possible January loan move. However, closing the deal could prove complex, particularly given the Rossoneri’s already well-stocked attacking squad, with players like Rafael Leao, Christian Pulisic and Tammy Abraham. In addition, the salary of the 27-year-old left winger should be “heavily subsidized” by MU to make the operation attractive for the Italian vice-champion.
