Borussia Dortmund are among a number of clubs considering a move to sign Marcus Rashford on loan from Manchester United this month.
The Bundesliga team join the likes of AC Milan, Juventus and Premier League suitors in weighing up an attempt at recruiting the 27-year-old England international on a deal until the summer.

No decisions have been made by any party as yet and it is plausible Rashford stays with United, despite their willingness to part ways and the forward saying he is “ready for a new challenge”.
But external interest is building and discussions are taking place to establish the viability of a temporary switch away from Old Trafford.
United and Dortmund have experience of such situations following the agreement they reached 12 months ago, which saw Jadon Sancho spend the second half of last season in the Bundesliga.
But there would be numerous factors to ponder on all sides, not least the finances involved given Rashford earns more than £325,000 per week as part of a contract that does not expire until 2028.
It is inevitable United would want as much of that covered as possible if the academy graduate is to depart — which may prove an obstacle — while Rashford’s focus will be to pick the best destination in order to get his career back on track.
That is even more pertinent amid Thomas Tuchel starting as England manager ahead of the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico.
