Mourinho is said to have a strong, almost paternal, relationship with Rashford, developed during their time together at Manchester United.

This bond could be crucial in persuading the England international to make the move to Istanbul.

Reports suggest Rashford is receptive to the idea, potentially paving the way for one of the most surprising transfers in Süper Lig history.

Acting on instructions from club president Ali Koc, sporting director Devin Ozek is set to travel to England next week.

He will reportedly meet with Manchester United officials and Rashford's representatives to discuss a potential deal.

Fenerbahce are understood to be proposing a loan agreement with a €46 million purchase option for the player, whose contract with Manchester United runs until 2028.

Rashford spent the 2023-24 season on loan at Aston Villa, contributing 11 goals and 9 assists in 41 appearances. This output underscores the significant investment Fenerbahçe are prepared to make.

Competition from Barcelona

Fenerbahce face competition from Barcelona, who are also said to be monitoring the 28-year-old.

However, Mourinho's direct involvement and personal connection with Rashford could give the Turkish club a decisive advantage.

Once a rising star and symbol of Manchester United's academy, Rashford has seen his relationship strained with current manager Ruben Amorim.

While not at his peak, the 28-year-old remains a potent attacking threat with pace, versatility, and a desire to prove himself.

A reunion with Mourinho, a figure he reportedly views as a father figure, could provide the perfect platform for a career resurgence.
