Marcus Rashford's move to Borussia Dortmund is set to be confirmed later this week. The Manchester United forward - who has been frozen out by new head coach Ruben Amorim in recent weeks - had been drawing attention from clubs in Italy and Spain but it now appears as if the Bundesliga will be his likely destination. Set for a loan spell in Germany, Rashford's career could also be set for a strange case of deja vu with their talk of a new managerial appointment at the Signal Iduna Park too. As reported by German publication BILD, Rashford's move will become official sometime this week with the 27-year-old expected to join Dortmund until the end of the current campaign. Donyell Malen's move to Aston Villa has helped finance a move for Rashford with the terms thought to be similar to Jadon Sancho's temporary switch at the back end of the 2023/24 season. There may, however, be another twist to Rashford's transfer tale, with former Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag tipped for a return to management with Borussia Dortmund. Current manager Nuri Sahin is said to be facing a 'make or break' Champions League test on Tuesday and the former Ajax head coach is being considered as a replacement, according to Sky in Germany.

The 54-year-old was sacked by Manchester United in October just three months after the club agreed a new one-year extension after their FA Cup final victory. Rashford and Ten Hag often didn't see eye-to-eye but the Dutchman was often high in praise for the Wythenshawe-born forward during his time in Manchester. In Four Four Two's view, Rashford and Ten Hag's reunion could ignite a new chapter for the pair and given they are both familiar with each other's tactics and nuisances, we can weirdly see this working out.
