Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has reportedly welcomed interest from Real Madrid.

Rashford came through the academy setup at United, and the attacker has gone on to score 34 goals from 82 starts and 54 substitute appearances in all competitions.

The 21-year-old effectively has just over two-and-a-half years remaining on his contract due to United having the option to extend it by a further 12 months after 2020, but that has not prevented Real from identifying the England international as a future signing.

According to The Sun, Real have already made contact with Rashford's representatives to clarify that they are considering a bid for the versatile frontman.

The report also suggests that Rashford has been informed that he must gain a regular starting role in order to keep his standing in the England setup, with the player currently being used alongside Raheem Sterling and Harry Kane in attack.

Juventus are also said to be monitoring the situation.
