Zlatan Ibrahimovic has provided his help to Marcus Rashford ahead of a possible move to AC Milan this month, as the Italian team weigh up a deal. The former Manchester United striker is now an advisor for the Rossoneri and is said to have vouched for Rashford amid doubts. The wantaway forward has received the backing of the Swede amid concerns over whether he would benefit the dressing room at the San Siro.
Milan, per Gazzetta Dello Sport, are deliberating over a move for the 27-year-old and are reported to have been anxious over Rashford's attitude and Ruben Amorim's decision to regularly leave him out of United's squad. Rashford has expressed his desire to take on a new challenge, while United are keen to sell the academy product. The forward's £325,000-per-week salary could prove prohibitive however.

The Catalan club would be required to find more than £5 million to complete a loan deal as they would need to take on all of the player's wages.
Reports in Italy have suggested Milan will find a deal easier to come by and perhaps Ibrahimovic has now eased fears to help a move get over the line. The Serie A side have been reluctant to part way with the money required to pay Rashford's wages however, with Alvaro Morata their current highest earner on £150,000-a-week.
