Rashford’s dream destination is believed to be Barcelona.
But the Spanish giants have never firmed up their interest in the 27-year-old.
And SunSport can reveal Newcastle are confident they can provide Rashford with an ideal stage to rebuild his career.
Toon boss Eddie Howe expects to keep £160million-rated Arsenal target Alexander Isak.
And far from being a replacement for the 25-year-old Swede, Newcastle see Rashford as an ideal player to rotate him with.
It’s understood the Magpies fancy a year-long loan deal for the 62-cap star.
But Old Trafford chiefs would prefer a permanent exit.
And anny chance of Rashford slotting back in at United appear slim, even though he is under contract until 2028.

The Mancunian netted in Ruben Amorim‘s first two games in charge last November.
But Rashford last played for the Red Devils on December 12.
And after dropping out of their matchday squad completely, he joined Villa in January for the rest of the season.
He looked to be reviving his fortunes, notching four goals and six assists in 17 games for Unai Emery‘s men
But Rashford is keen on returning to a Champions League platform next term.
And ahead of their campaign in Europe’s to domestic cup competition, Newcastle need to strengthen up top.
Callum Wilson, 33, is being monitored by Everton and Saudi clubs, although he could yet stay at St James’ Park.
And Chelsea won the £30m race for Ipswich frontman Liam Delap.
So a swoop for a player of Rashford’s experience – not to mention his desperation to impress ahead of the 2026 World Cup – could suit both parties.
