JUVENTUS have made Marcus Rashford their number one summer target, SunSport understands.
The Italian giants are accelerating plans to try and secure the Manchester United misfit – who is desperate to force an exit from Old Trafford.
Juventus have made Manchester United ace Marcus Rashford their ‘number one summer target’
Rashford arrived at Man Utd’s Carrington training ground eight minutes after manager Ruben Amorim left
Rashford arrived at United’s Carrington training ground on Thursday at 4:47pm – eight minutes after manager Ruben Amorim had departed.
The Three Lions star is training away from the first-team squad alongside four other Man Utd stars who have also been told to find a new club.
Juve’s interest comes as Barcelona also make Rashford their No1 target.
The Spanish champions are believed to also have Rashford’s former team-mate Mason Greenwood and AC Milan sensation Rafael Leao on their transfer wishlist.
But Juventus rate Rashford incredibly highly and are desperate to secure the 27-year-old in time for pre-season.
They are reshaping their team as they bid to wrestle the title off Napoli next term – and Rashford, who ended last season on loan at Aston Villa, is seen as a key part of the rebuild.
Rashford, who fell out with Amorim last season, has publicly stated that it is his wish to move on from United and make a fresh start.
Villa rejected the chance to sign Rashford permanently – with their lack of Champions League football thought to be the main factor which drove that decision.

United are pushing for a permanent cash deal for the wantaway star, but they know his massive wages could prove a stumbling block.
That opens up the possibility of Rashford again being loaned out.
Sources told SunSport that United officials are keen to resolve the matter as soon as possible.
Rashford has been spending the summer training alone, mainly in Dubai, as he plots a comeback season which he hopes will also put him back in England contention ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
