Report – Inter Milan Inquire About £40M Rated Man United & England Star

Inter Milan have reportedly inquired about the availability of out-of-favour Man United striker Marcus Rashford. This according to UK outlet Manchester Evening News. They report, however, that any deal would have to be on loan, and that the Englishman's wages could pose a problem. Advertisement Inter Milan have been in talks with Manchester United in recent weeks. Initially, the Nerazzurri had shown an interest in signing Red Devils striker Joshua Zirkzee. However, they then turned their attention to another former Serie A forward, Rasmus Hojlund. By all accounts, Hojlund is a top target for the Nerazzurri in attack this summer. However, reports Manchester Evening News, there's yet another United striker who Inter have also sounded out a move for. Inter Inquire About Man United Striker Marcus Rashford SOUTHAMPTON, ENGLAND – APRIL 12: Marcus Rashford of Aston Villa during the Premier League match between Southampton FC and Aston Villa FC at St Mary's Stadium on April 12, 2025 in Southampton, England. (Photo by) According to Manchester Evening News, the Nerazzurri asked United about the availability of Marcus Rashford this summer. Advertisement There is certainly little doubt that the Europa League finalists will aim to offload the 27-year-old this summer. Rashford had spent the second half of last season on loan with Aston Villa. And he is still not in the plans of Manchester United coach Ruben Amorim. Manchester Evening News report that United are resigned to the fact that they'll likely have to loan Rashford out this summer, rather than selling him outright. The outlet anticipate that the Red Devils value Rashford at around £40 million. Inter have sounded out whether there would be scope for a loan deal in their talks with United. One issue for the Nerazzurri would be Rashford's wages, however. The England international earns £325,000 net per week at Old Trafford.

Arne Slot blown away by Liverpool player who has 'met all expectations' - 'not seen by many'

Arne Slot pays tribute to "perfect goalkeeper" Alisson Becker in a brand new documentary profiling Liverpool's No.1. In a three-part series called 'Alisson: My Story' Slot heaps praise on the ability of the Brazil international, saying he has the ideal skill set for a modern goalkeeper to thrive at the elite level. Advertisement The LFC Original docuseries premieres on Friday at midday before episodes two and three arrive on official club channels on June 23 and 26, respectively and Slot is fulsome in his credit, saying: 'He meets almost all expectations you want from the perfect goalkeeper. READ MORE: What the ECHO understands about Liverpool transfer plans as Jarell Quansah closes in on £35m exit READ MORE: Arne Slot set to make summer decision over Liverpool signing that infuriated rivals "Normally, you have to accept from a goalkeeper that maybe one or two he doesn't have, but he's comfortable with the ball at his feet. Advertisement 'He's relaxed, so he has no stress at all, where sometimes you see goalkeepers that are comfortable with the ball – good in the execution – are having a little bit of stress when the ball comes to them. But it seems as if he has no stress at all! 'Then of course because he is so tall, in crosses he can come for every single cross. That is really helpful for every defence. And shot-stopping is maybe his best asset he has. "It's very hard to score a goal against him from outside the box, it's almost impossible. And inside the box you have to be really precise if you want to score a goal against him.' Slot adds: 'I think that role [in the Premier League title win] is clear for everyone who watched all our games – in the moments we needed him, he was there for us. Advertisement 'But what is not known for everyone is his influence in the group. He is not the loudest but every time he speaks, everyone is listening. "Before the game he is not the one who speaks most but he's always there to bring messages to the players, and I think this is what's not being seen by many: that he is one of the leaders of our group. 'Not by being vocal a lot but by being the person that he is. So, I think everybody feels comfortable with him, because he's such a good human being. But he's also a leader in terms of motivating the group, whenever he thinks that's necessary.'
