According to Bild, Dortmund are keeping close tabs on the forward as they are in urgent need of reinforcement this month after losing Donyell Malen to Aston Villa.
BVB’s sporting director Sebastian Kehl and managing director Lars Ricken have been holding discussions with the England international and the Red Devils behind the scenes.
In fact, the Bundesliga giants’ tactics are quite similar to those they adopted to land Jadon Sancho from Chelsea on loan last season.
Dortmund are “hotting up” on their pursuit of Rashford, who is seen as a “serious option” despite financial hurdles regarding his release clause and contract, which is reportedly worth £325,000 per week.
Talks behind the scenes, are said to be focused on something more than just a simple loan deal.
Rashford has also been linked with Barcelona despite their financial woes.
According to Marca, Barca can only sign a new player as long as another makes way first.
Ansu Fati, who spent last season on loan at Brighton, poses as a potential option to leave the Blaugrana.

Fati has struggled for minutes under new Barcelona manager Hansi Flick.
Ronald Araujo and Eric Garcia could also make way for the Catalan giants to sign the Man Utd star.
Nevertheless, Flick’s side are likelier to consider a loan for the versatile forward.
