MARCUS RASHFORD could head to MONACO, where the Ligue 1 side are rich enough to afford the most attractive loan deals.
Rashford has said he holds no grudge against Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim following his recent sacking.
Sources close to the dumped striker claim he is ready, willing and able to face Rangers in Thursday night's Europa League match if he is selected.
But the 27-year-old is likely to leave Old Trafford this month with a host of interested clubs.
United, struggling to manage finances so crucial they could almost be hit with a Prem points deduction on profit and sustainability rules, want to take his £315,000 wages off the books.
Rashford refused to listen to Saudi Arabia's approaches despite the chance of a £35m-a-year deal as he fears such a move would cost him any chance of regaining his place in England.
AC Milan have dropped interest in him, while Borussia Dortmund would like to loan him but would expect United to finance half of his salary.
West Ham also have him on their radar, while United are looking for around £40m.
Rashford's brother and agent Dwaine Maynard wants him to join Barcelona, but the LaLiga club are banned from signing new players due to debts currently running at almost £850million.
However, Monaco could be an option until the end of the season.

The wealthy Ligue 1 club is believed to be considering an approach and would be willing to pay most, if not all, of his huge weekly wages.
The 27-year-old was suspended by Amorim for his performance in training and his statement last month that he was “ready for a new challenge” away from Old Trafford.
He has not featured for Manchester United in nine games and has made just one appearance on the bench in that time.
But it is understood he has been undertaking extra training to stay fit in his absence and is available to play in the Battle of Britain match.
And that he has no problems with Amorim and is willing to give 100 percent for the shirt.
After subduing him again for Sunday's 3-1 defeat to Brighton, Amorim doubled down on the homegrown star.
The boss who called his side “the worst in the history of Manchester United” insisted: “It is his choice (not to play). It's his choice (not to play).[nottoplay)[nottoplay)
“I don't want to focus on this bad moment because in the games we have lost, Rashford is not there.
“I don't want to blame this moment on Rashford. Rashford is out because he is not playing.
“Whatever happens, I'm not going to take out a player who I don't think is the best for the team.”
The Portuguese is unlikely to be moved by the Rashford camp's attempt to build bridges and is prepared to see him move on.
