Manchester United are receiving more interest in Marcus Rashford but the out-of-favour forward is only looking to move to one club in particular this month.
Rashford and United are actively looking to severe ties, with the 27-year-old revealing a desire last month to seek a new challenge, while the club are keen to get one of their top earners off the wage books.
Dortmund have become the latest side to register an interest in Rashford after selling Donyell Malen to Aston Villa this week, with the Bundesliga outfit holding internal talks over pursuing a potential loan deal.

Napoli are also considering a move after agreeing to sell Khivicha Kvaratskhelia to Paris Saint-Germain, although the Italian side are unlikely to be able to afford his wages and may look to a deal for Alejandro Garnacho instead.
With Milan, West Ham and Como also linked in recent weeks, Rashford will likely have a wide range of teams to pick from if a financial compromise can be reached, however the England star is understood to be holding out for a move to Barcelona.
According to SPORT, Rashford has hesitated on a move to Milan as he is waiting for Barca to formalise their interest, with the Catalan side aiming to resolve their financial issues before making a move for the United man.
Will Barcelona be able to sign Rashford this month?
According to the report, Barca have identified Rashford as their ‘top priority’ for the transfer window and have already carried out consultations with the player’s representatives over a loan move.
Barca have been entangled in a war with La Liga over their wage bill but the club recently sold a number of VIP boxes in their new stadium which has given them the ability to pursue new signings.

However, while Barcelona have the ability to finance a deal, it is likely that the club will need to see another player leave, such as Ansu Fati, before they can have the salary margin to register Rashford in their squad.
A resolution may not be possible until towards the end of the month, which has led to Rashford considering other proposals, although Barca are understood to be the sporting project the forward is most keen on, prompting him to wait before deciding his new club.
