Rashford is one of five first-team players at United who are actively seeking transfers away from Old Trafford this summer. The 27-year-old was sent out on loan to Aston Villa in January after falling out with Ruben Amorim and is searching for a new home, with reports suggesting he favours a move to Barcelona. However, United are now braced for a loan offer with an option to buy Rashford outright from Fenerbahce, with talks between the two clubs scheduled for later this week.
DID YOU KNOW?
Fenerbahce hired Mourinho last year and they finished second behind Galatasaray in the Super Lig title race last season. They have been linked with plenty of high-profile players this summer and have already brought in Sofyan Amrabat permanently and Jhon Duran on loan.
