United's Rashford: Headed for a Loan, Not a Sale

It seems Manchester United is keen on loaning Marcus Rashford out this month, instead of selling him for good. The 27-year-old forward, who's been with the club his whole career, is interested in a new challenge, especially in the Italian or Spanish leagues. Since missing the Manchester Derby in December, he hasn't played for the Red Devils. Rashford's representatives have talked with clubs from Italy and Spain, with AC Milan being one of them. A move to Serie A is his top choice. United is considering a loan deal, so they can re-evaluate the situation next summer. They initially wanted a sale or a loan with a buy option, thinking about his high weekly wages of £300, 000. The club values Rashford at around £40 million. He's got three years left on his contract with United. This season, his form has taken a dip compared to his career-best 30 goals in the 2022-23 campaign. There's Premier League interest too, but no talks yet. Arsenal and West Ham are thinking about making a move. Rashford's stats this season show 15 appearances, 4 goals, and 1 assist, with a shots accuracy of 56%.
