Jose Mourinho wants Fenerbahce to sign Manchester United star Marcus Rashford in a shock transfer, according to BeIN Sports Turkey.
The Red Devils are expecting to move on several first-team players this summer, with the England international one of the most anticipated exits after a public fallout with manager Ruben Amorim last season.
After spending the second half of the 2024/25 season on loan with Aston Villa, Rashford has been stripped of his squad number at Old Trafford now, with the number ten being handed to new signing Matheus Cunha, cementing that he has no future at the club.

Rashford is said to be waiting on a move to Barcelona, with the La Liga giants making him their top target for the summer after missing out on deals for Nico Williams and Luis Diaz.
But now Fenerbahce are looking to step in to help him move away from Old Trafford, with his former boss Mourinho reportedly personally asking for his signature as he looks to topple Galatasaray's hold on the league title.
Fenerbahce are prepared to pay the £40m asking price that Man Utd have put on the winger's head, and the reports claims that club chiefs are due to jet into the UK this week for face-to-face talks with United.

According to the report, Rashford would be open to the move to take him to Turkey, however, his preference is still Barcelona - although he won't be able to wait forever for it to come to fruition after being told to train away from the first-team and being told he has no future under Amorim.
Fenerbahce are said to have taken a big step forward toward securing this surprise signing, and with Mourinho insisting that they add Rashford to his squad they are hoping to get it done.
Barcelona are still yet to make a formal move for Rashford, but it seems they now have big competition for a deal.
