Marcus Rashford has reportedly held talks with a leading sports agency in a bid to move forward with a move away from Manchester United this month.
According to The Sun, the 27-year-old has been in contact with Stellar, the same agency that helped facilitate Gareth Bale's £86m move to Real Madrid from Tottenham Hotspur in 2013.
On its website, Stellar aims to “create the best opportunities for talent to maximize their careers and realize their ambitions.”
Rashford is currently represented by his brother Dwayne Maynard, but The Sun also claims he is willing to join the Steelers to help secure the move.
It has been a turbulent time for Rashford under new United manager Ruben Amorim. Prior to the 2-0 defeat to Newcastle on Monday, in which he was an unused substitute, Rashford was left out of United's squad for four matches by the Portuguese coach.

This led the English striker to reveal in an interview with journalist Henry Winter last December that he was “ready for a new challenge”, sparking growing speculation about his future at Old Trafford.
But the United academy graduate insisted there would be “no hard feelings” if he left the Red Devils.
“You won't have any negative comments from me about Manchester United. That's who I am as a person,” he said.
United currently occupies 14th place in the English Premier League table after a series of poor results that saw them lose three matches in a row without scoring any goals.
They travel to league leaders and fierce rivals Liverpool on January 5 before traveling to Arsenal in the FA Cup third round seven days later.
