Marcus Rashford is edging closer to a move away from Manchester United, with AC Milan reportedly in 'advanced discussions' to land the England international.
The 27-year-old looks poised to leave Old Trafford after being frozen out by Ruben Amorim amid concerns over his attitude behind the scenes.
Rashford was a key player for Erik ten Hag during the Dutchman's stint in charge of the fallen giants.
But with his form nosediving, Amorim has decided to omit the forward from matches with Manchester City, Tottenham, Bournemouth, Wolves, Liverpool and Arsenal over the past month or so.

Rashford was named on the bench for United's dreadful 2-0 defeat to Newcastle on December 30.
But he wasn't brought on in that match, with Amorim instead preferring to throw on the likes of Leny Yoro, Kobbie Mainoo, Antony and Alejandro Garnacho instead.
Barcelona, Juventus, Napoli and teams from Saudi Arabia have all been linked with Rashford amid uncertainty over his future.
Yet journalist Ben Jacobs has claimed the forward is in 'advanced discussions' over a blockbuster move to Italy with AC Milan.

Milan are seemingly confident of signing Rashford on loan until the end of the season.
Barcelona are, however, actually the winger's preferred next club.
The Catalan titans previously came close to signing the United star in 2019, back when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer ruled the roost at Old Trafford.
Yet Solskjaer was able to keep hold of Rashford on that occasion, with the England international signing a new deal.

United, for a long time, have stuck with Rashford.
However, his form hasn't been good enough ever since he renewed his contract back in the summer of 2023.
United aren't expected to pursue a replacement for Rashford if, as expected, he departs for a new challenge in Italy.
Meanwhile, Amorim was asked about Rashford as the Red Devils prepare for Thursday night's Premier League clash with Southampton.

Yet the 39-year-old side-stepped a question about wanting a 'resolution' to the saga by saying: "I just want to win tomorrow [against Southampton].
"My focus is to win tomorrow, I will choose the players that I think are best to win the game tomorrow.
"I am just focused on that."
