Marcus Rashford's representatives have held talks with AC Milan as the Italian giants target a loan move for the Manchester United forward in the January transfer window.
AC Milan's interest in Rashford was announced earlier this month after the forward admitted he could seek a new challenge away from Man United.
Rashford's brother and agent Dwaine Maynard was in Milan on Tuesday for talks with the newly crowned Italian Super Cup winners.
Further discussions are expected with AC Milan over the possibility of signing Rashford.
Borussia Dortmund is Rashford's other major candidate, while Juventus and Galatasaray also have an interest.
AC Milan are currently eighth in Serie A and have struggled to score goals this season.
The Italian giants' struggles led to the departure of head coach Paulo Fonesca last month, with Sergio Conceicao taking charge.
Conceicao led AC Milan to a 3-2 victory over city rivals Inter in the Italian Super Cup on Monday, with England international Tammy Abraham scoring the stoppage-time winner.
Rashford's former Man United teammate Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a key figure at AC Milan, with the 43-year-old serving as a senior advisor to the club's ownership.
United ideally want to sell for £40 million and that figure, plus his wages of more than £325,000 per week, are the biggest stumbling block.
United will consider loans with an obligation to buy and a number of clubs have shown interest.
Rashford has rejected approaches from Saudi Arabia and wants to stay in Europe to continue his career in England.
His preferred destination was Spain, but that option is unlikely to open until the summer and will depend on his performance in the second half of the season.
United is desperate to offload players to make Amorim players better suited to its system. A striker and a left wing-back are considered priorities, but are hampered by the PSR guidelines that have been heavily under Erik ten Hag.
Rashford was left out of four consecutive matchday squads by Amorim last month before returning to the bench against Newcastle last week.
The 27-year-old was missing from Manchester United's 2-2 draw with Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday due to illness.
