Man Utd 'sources' reveal most 'likely' destination for Marcus Rashford as transfer saga takes new twist

Sources within Manchester United have reportedly picked out the most likely destination for Marcus Rashford.

Last month, Rashford made headlines after being left out of Ruben Amorim's matchday squad for the derby clash against Manchester City.

The United boss made the brave call to omit both Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho but was rewarded as the Red Devils came away 2-1 winners at the Etihad Stadium.

After the derby, Rashford revealed to journalist Henry Winter that he was ready to seek a new challenge.

He said: "For me, personally, I think I'm ready for a new challenge and the next steps."

Since then, the 27-year-old has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford, with several clubs in the Saudi Pro League, the MLS and around Europe showing interest.

Marcus Rashford's most likely destination revealed

Now, it has been claimed that Rashford's most likely destination could be in Europe.

As reported by The Athletic, Rashford's likeliest destination is Italy, with AC Milan said to be in the market for a new winger.

The report stated: "The market for him appears shallow due to his wages, which are too high for nearly all clubs to afford. It would require a creative solution and subsidy from United.

"Sources believe Italy is the likeliest destination and Milan are looking for a winger, but on the right."

After Rashford was left out of United's 2-2 draw against Liverpool due to 'illness', Amorim said: "It’s the same situation. At the moment he is ill. He is not training.

"We will see in the future, but this is like a normal player, then I make a selection. So it’s the same."

He added: "I think he is going to be out, this week he is out. We will see, but I think this week he is out."

United will be back in action this weekend when they take on Arsenal in the FA Cup. The Red Devils will look to continue their defence of the trophy and end their four-match winless run.
