Talks Underway as Rashford Considers January Exit
Marcus Rashford’s representatives have opened talks with AC Milan over a potential January loan move, as the Manchester United forward explores options for regular first-team football after falling out of favour under Ruben Amorim.
Rashford’s agent and brother, Dwaine Maynard, reportedly met with Milan’s recruitment team on Tuesday to discuss the possibility of a temporary switch. Talks remain in the early stages, with Milan’s senior executives only just returning from Saudi Arabia following their dramatic 3-2 Italian Super Cup victory over Inter Milan.

AC Milan’s Interest and Squad Considerations
Milan are currently assessing their January transfer options after replacing Paulo Fonseca with new manager Sergio Conceicao. However, Rashford would face strong competition for a starting spot at the San Siro.
• Rafael Leao, Milan’s star forward, returned from injury with a decisive performance in the Super Cup.
• Christian Pulisic has been in excellent form on the right, scoring in both the semi-final and final of the competition.
• Tammy Abraham scored a late winner in the final and is regaining confidence as a striking option.
This depth suggests Rashford would have to fight hard for regular minutes in Milan’s attack.
Financial Hurdles in Potential Deal
A major obstacle in any potential loan deal is Rashford’s salary, reported at over £325,000 per week. Milan would require significant financial assistance from Manchester United for the deal to be feasible.
The talks with Milan follow reported interest from Borussia Dortmund and Juventus, both considering the England forward as a short-term option for their attacking setups.
Rashford’s United Situation
The 26-year-old forward has been sidelined at Manchester United after expressing a desire for a “new challenge”, leading to tension with head coach Ruben Amorim. His limited game time and United’s attacking struggles have fuelled speculation about a January departure.
While Rashford remains a key talent, Amorim’s tactical preferences and the club’s recent form have seen the academy product fall out of the starting lineup.
What Happens Next?
With three weeks remaining in the January transfer window, Rashford’s future remains uncertain. Milan’s interest is genuine, but financial constraints and squad depth could make the deal challenging.
Should United be willing to subsidize wages, a Serie A move could offer Rashford the reset he needs to rediscover his form and confidence.
