Rashford set for crucial talks with Manchester United on his future scheduled for next week

The 27-year-old is not in Ruben Amorim's plans for the new season following a falling out between the two earlier this year, which led to Rashford being frozen out of the squad.

The forward spent the second half of the season on loan at Aston Villa, where he registered 6 goals and 4 assists in 17 appearances.

His substantial salary, reported to be £375,000 per week including bonuses, is considered a major obstacle to a permanent transfer. Giants Barcelona and Bayern Munich have expressed interest but seem more inclined towards a loan deal.

According to the Mirror, via Sportal, Rashford is set to meet with the club owners on his possible transfer from the club.

The meeting is expected to cover the player's options in detail, including the financial requirements from Old Trafford for any clubs interested in securing his services this summer.

Discussions will also address whether the Red Devils are open to another loan move for the forward or are currently only willing to entertain permanent transfer offers.

Reports from Manchester suggest United would only consider a loan if it included a mandatory purchase option for next summer.

Old Trafford has had negative experiences with similar deals, hoping to sell both Rashford and Jadon Sancho this summer to their respective loan clubs, but both Aston Villa and Chelsea declined to make the moves permanent.
