MARCUS RASHFORD has emerged as a target for Inter Milan – as they look to bounce back from their Champions League final horror show.
The Manchester United forward, 27, spent the second half of the season on loan at Aston Villa, with his red-hot form securing him a place back in the England squad.
But Villa, who narrowly missed out on a Champions League spot for 2025-26, are unlikely to make a permanent move for Rashford due to the player’s sky-high wages.
Unai Emery and Co are now firmly focused on other targets and hope to keep hold of Ollie Watkins, who has been linked with an exit from Villa Park.
Sources close to Rashford told SunSport he doesn’t see a future at Old Trafford under Ruben Amorim.
The pair reportedly fell out last season with the Portuguese manager unhappy with Rashford’s attitude during training and off the field.
And that means Rashford is frantically searching for a new club, which has put Inter Milan on red-alert.
The Italian giants are looking to rebuild their side in the wake of the Champions League final demolition at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain.
Inter were thrashed 5-0 in a defeat which came on the back of them throwing away the Serie A title late in the season, opening the door for Napoli.
Club chiefs believe that Rashford could be a key acquisition and would excite supporters.
And although Man Utd would prefer a permanent deal, Inter are also exploring the option of a long-term loan move.
A source said: “Marcus is open-minded to a move abroad, and a fresh start.
“Lots of players have made the move from the Premier League to Serie A in recent years and performed very well. That’s why the idea of such a switch excites both the player and Inter.”
Rashford is one of a number of players in limbo at United.
Team-mates Jadon Sancho and Antony both ended the campaign on loan at other clubs and are deemed surplus to requirements.
But United face a challenge in offloading all of them due to their massive wages.
