The future of Manchester United's forward, Marcus Rashford, is becoming increasingly uncertain as the Italian giants, AC Milan, have made a formal offer to secure his services.

According to recent reports, AC Milan's sporting director, Giorgio Furlani, held a virtual meeting with Omar Berrada, a representative of Manchester United, to discuss the potential transfer. The Rossoneri have presented an initial proposal that involves a season-long loan deal, with Milan covering half of Rashford's annual salary. This would equate to a substantial outlay of approximately €7 million net.

While Italian sports daily, Gazzetta dello Sport, has clarified that the offer does not include an obligation to buy, AC Milan is confident that this structure could meet Manchester United's financial demands and facilitate the transfer of the English attacker. The possibility of a permanent move would be discussed at a later stage.

Rashford, who has found himself out of favor under new manager Ruben Amorim, is reportedly open to a move to the San Siro, giving AC Milan a significant advantage over other interested clubs such as Borussia Dortmund, other Premier League teams, and even FC Barcelona.

Why Milan is keen on Rashford

AC Milan sees Rashford as the ideal candidate to bolster their attacking options and provide a much-needed goal threat. His pace, dribbling skills, and ability to play in multiple attacking positions make him a valuable asset to any team. Additionally, the Rossoneri believe that a change of scenery could rejuvenate Rashford's career and help him rediscover his best form.

What's next for Rashford?

With the transfer window now open, it remains to be seen whether Manchester United will accept AC Milan's offer. The Red Devils are reportedly open to selling Rashford in order to raise funds for new signings, but they will be demanding a significant fee for the England international.

If the deal goes through, Rashford would join a long list of English players who have made the move to Serie A in recent years. The likes of David Beckham, Ashley Cole, and Joe Hart have all enjoyed successful spells in Italy, and Rashford could be the next Englishman to make his mark in the Italian top flight.

Key points:

  • AC Milan has made the first official bid for Manchester United's Marcus Rashford.
  • The offer involves a season-long loan with an option to buy.
  • Rashford is open to a move to Italy.
  • Manchester United are open to selling Rashford to raise funds for new signings.
