Borussia Dortmund and AC Milan have made enquiries regarding a loan deal for Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford, according to reports.

The Athletic claims the two clubs have made contact with United to get an understanding of the financial package it would take to prise Rashford away from Old Trafford.

United are thought to be willing to either sell or loan out Rashford this month in a bid to get the player, who is believed to earn more than £325,000 a week, off the wage bill.

The 27-year-old said recently he was “ready for a new challenge,” sparking suggestions his spell at United could be coming to an end.

The Sun also claimed he had held talks with the Stellar Sports Agency – they helped facilitate Gareth Bale’s £86million move to Real Madrid from Tottenham Hotspur in 2013 – in an attempt to expedite a move.

Rashford remains an enticing prospect for foreign clubs despite a largely miserable 18 months in which he has failed to replicate the form that saw him score 30 goals in all competitions in the 2022-23 season.

The player has also hit the headlines for off-the-field indiscretions and been accused of a lack of effort.

Dortmund have form for taking players from United in the January window having signed winger Jadon Sancho on loan this time last year.

Sancho performed well back in the Bundesliga and secured a move to Chelsea over the summer as a result.
