Rashford has been dropped from Ruben Amorim’s matchday roster for United’s remaining four games.
This is despite the club’s three consecutive defeats since their victory over Manchester City on December 15.
The 27-year-old’s time at United looks to be done, and he might be leaving the club in the coming weeks.
It is believed that multiple agencies have offered the exiled England striker to a number of European teams.
However, the Sun believes that Juventus turned down the opportunity to sign Rashford in January.
Thiago Motta, the club’s head coach, is rumored to be apprehensive about a deal for the reputed £350,000 star, reports Express.
Instead, Motta is eager to sign struggling striker Zirkzee in the coming weeks. He handled the Dutchman at Bologna before they moved on to other teams last summer.
Rashford appears to be out, with Manchester United facing challenging Premier League games against Newcastle and Liverpool.
Amorim’s side, which has dropped to 14th place, will also be without the suspended Bruno Fernandes and Manuel Ugarte for Monday’s game against Newcastle at Old Trafford.
