Marcus Rashford's representatives have held talks with European giants Borussia Dortmund and Juventus amid reports that Man United's proposed loan to AC Milan has hit a stumbling block.
Rashford's brother and agent Dwaine Maynard held talks with Juventus officials on Wednesday.
The Man United forward's representatives have also spoken to Dortmund technical director Sven Mislintat.
Last year, the Bundesliga side signed another talented Man United star in Jadon Sancho on loan in January, before the striker joined Chelsea last summer.
Talks have continued in the race to sign Rashford after the forward revealed last month that he was looking for a 'new challenge' away from Manchester United.
Maynard had been in Italy on Tuesday to hold preliminary talks with Italian giants AC Milan.
According to the Times, a potential move to the newly crowned Italian Super Cup winners could have hit a snag over the striker's wages.
Any deal would depend on what proportion of his wages United are willing to pay, as well as the size of the fee if there is an obligation to buy.
The striker's weekly wage is estimated at around £325,000.
Milan's highest earner Alvaro Morata reportedly earns £150,000 a week.
United paid part of Sancho and Mason Greenwood's earnings last season to loan them out to Dortmund and Getafe respectively.
Another Serie A team from Como, managed by former Arsenal and Chelsea star Cesc Fabregas, has also reportedly acquired a stake in Rashford.
Como, currently 10th in the table, has a link with Man United in former defender Rafael Varane.
The former France international joined the Italian team's board after retiring earlier this season.
Mail Sport announced on Wednesday that Tottenham are among the clubs with an interest in Rashford.
Spurs want to strengthen their attacking options and save their season despite being the second top scorer in the Premier League.
Rashford admitted in an impressive interview last month that he is ready for a 'new challenge' and spoke of leaving Old Trafford as a 'when', not an 'if'.
United would ideally want to sell for £40 million for a man whose contract runs until 2028, with an extension in 2023.
Ruben Amorim has not played against Rashford since coming on as a substitute against Nottingham Forest on December 7, although he was back on the bench after last week's 2-0 defeat to Newcastle.
When asked why he was dropped for the Manchester derby, Amorim said: 'Selection. We try to evaluate everything: training, performance, game performance, involvement with the teammates, bringing out the teammates. Everything is on the line when we analyze the players and try to choose them, so that is my selection.”
Rashford has 60 caps but missed out on a place in the England squad at the European Championship and revealed he hoped to represent the Three Lions at the World Cup.
“That still fascinates me,” he said. 'It's playing for your country in the biggest competition in the world.
'I've had the opportunity before (Russia 2018 and Qatar 2022) and it's an incredible experience. If I get another opportunity, I will try to grab it with both hands.'
On his openness to leaving last month, Rashford said: “For me personally, I think I'm ready for a new challenge and the next steps.
'If I leave, it will be 'no hard feelings'. You won't get any negative comments from me about Manchester United. That's me as a person.
'If I know a situation is already bad, I'm not going to make it worse. I've seen other players leave in the past and I don't want to be that person. When I leave, I will make a statement, and it will be mine.”
