AC Milan plot loan swoop for Man Utd misfit Marcus Rashford with former team-mate considering transfer deal
AC MILAN are considering a shock loan move for Manchester United star Marcus Rashford, according to reports.
Rashford, 27, has not featured any of the Red Devils' last five games and has been axed from the squad by Ruben Amorim on four occasions.
Man Utd are supposedly open to selling the forward this month should they receive an offer worth £40million.
But the player's £325,000-a-week wages are proving a major stumbling block.
A loan deal is seemingly more likely, with outlet suggesting AC Milan are ready to enter the race to sign him.
Rashford's former team-mate Zlatan Ibrahimovic is one of the club's chiefs and he has a say in their transfer business.

Milan's fellow Italian giants Napoli are also keen on a deal.
SunSport exclusively revealed earlier this week that their interest could lead to a potential swap deal involving striker Victor Osimhen.
Meanwhile, Rashford has rejected a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia that would have doubled his salary.
He is keen to win his place back in the England team and therefore wants to remain at the highest level.

Rumours suggest the misfit's preferred destination is Spain, but options are limited.
Rashford revealed in a bombshell interview last month that he is open to leaving Old Trafford, claiming he is "ready for a new challenge and the next steps".
Asked if there is a way back for the player at Man Utd, Amorim said: “It depends more on him than me.
"He has to want it really, really bad. He’s here. He’s ready to play if I decide."
