Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford in talks with sports agency Stellar in the hope of securing January exit

Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford is in talks with leading sports agency Stellar in a bid to secure an exit away from the Old Trafford club this month, according to the Sun.

The 27-year-old is currently out of favour under Red Devils manager Ruben Amorim, last playing on December 12.

Rashford was dropped from Man United’s next four matchday squads and only returned to the bench for the visit of Newcastle United on Monday, where he was an unused substitute.

He is now planning his departure, and is willing to involve more hands to work on a Man United exit despite being currently represented by his brother Dwaine Maynard.

Stellar helped Gareth Bale move from Tottenham Hotspur to Real Madrid for £86 million in 2013, and they could help Rashford secure the kind of deal he desires as he looks to move on before the end of the January transfer window.

The Red Devils are also open to selling their academy graduate this month, as doing so will help them make a few additions to their squad.

Amorim wants to bolster his options on the wings, and a reunion with Paris Saint-Germain full-back Nuno Mendes has been mooted.

They worked together at Sporting CP, and the 22-year-old is believed to be open to joining Man United.

However, the Old Trafford club have to sell first and cashing in on Rashford will come in handy as it would be a major boost in terms of Profit and Sustainability Rules.

Despite his huge dip in form in recent months, some European clubs remain keen on signing Rashford, but whether anyone will be willing to pay his over £300,000-per-week wages remains to be seen.

Rashford may need to lower his demands to get the move he is angling for, and Stellar have a huge job on their hands to get their client his wish.
