It seems that Marcus Rashford's time with Manchester United may be coming to an end. Rumors have been circulating that Zlatan Ibrahimovic, former United teammate and current advisor for AC Milan, is interested in bringing Rashford to the Italian club. However, Ibrahimovic acknowledges that it would be a challenging transfer to make happen.
The 27-year-old forward had previously expressed his desire for a new challenge and it seems that United's head coach, Ruben Amorim, is willing to sell him. There is no shortage of interest in Rashford, with clubs from both the Premier League and around the world vying for his signature. However, he reportedly turned down a lucrative offer from the Saudi Pro League.
Out of all the potential destinations, Italy appears to be the most likely. Napoli and Como have both expressed interest, but it seems that Milan is the front-runner. Rashford's brother and agent, Dwaine Maynard, has even traveled to Milan for talks. The connection between Ibrahimovic and Rashford, who were teammates at United for two seasons, may give Milan an advantage in the transfer race. They won the League Cup and Europa League together in 2017.
During an interview with Sky Italia, Ibrahimovic confirmed Milan's interest in Rashford. "Rashford? I know him very well, I played with him when he was young, he is now an adult and established," the football legend said. "He did great things with United and today that is his club. How to convince him? Milan is one of the biggest clubs in the world, everyone wants to play here. This is a difficult operation, we'll see if we can talk to him."
Ibrahimovic also mentioned that Rashford is a versatile player who can play in multiple positions. "He [Rashford] can play on the right, in the centre, on the left. He will play in all the positions." Milan is currently in eighth place in Serie A, but their form has improved since the appointment of new manager Sergio Conceicao. When asked about Rashford, Conceicao referred to him as a "good player" but declined to comment further on transfer speculation.
As for Rashford's future with United, it remains to be seen if he has already played his last game for the club. He is available for selection in the upcoming FA Cup third round match against Arsenal. Only time will tell if a move to Milan is in his future, but it seems that the possibility is very much on the table.
