Manchester United attacker Marcus Rashford's potential move to AC Milan is set for a further blow as the Serie A side plan for the arrival of England defender Kyle Walker.

The United academy graduate is expected to leave the Theatre of Dreams this move after finding it increasingly difficult to break into the matchday squad under new head coach Ruben Amorim. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, a former teammate of the 27-year-old, has spoken publicly about a possible switch to the Italian giants - but the Swedish icon has also discussed the prospect of Walker arriving at the San Siro.

According to Fabrizio Romano, preparations are already underway at Milan for Walker to make the switch from the Premier League. The Italian reporter has claimed that medical and formal steps for the deal will continue between Tuesday and Wednesday this week.

In addition, he said that there is a full agreement for personal terms with the final details being ironed out ahead of a loan move. As per rules in Italy, only one will be allowed to join Sergio Conceicao's side this window.

In a tweet, he wrote: "AC Milan have started planning for Kyle Walker’s arrival, medical and formal steps between Tuesday/Wednesday.

"It’s all agreed on player side/personal terms, Walker wants the move while AC Milan and Man City are closing in on final details of the loan deal."

Serie A legislation states that a club may only sign two non-EU players every season, and Milan have already done that with the summer arrivals of Strahinja Pavlovic and Emerson Royal, from Tottenham Hotspur.

Despite this, they can bring a third player from outside the European Union as long as they are signed from the United Kingdom or Albania. That means only Rashford or Walker will be able to join them this window - should reports be believed, Walker looks like the frontrunner.

United's 3-1 defeat at home to Brighton & Hove Albion was the 10th of the season, a seventh defeat in all competitions since Amorim took charge. Rashford was again omitted from the squad, explaining the decision Amorim said: "In this moment, Rashford is not here and, in the last games that we lost, Rashford was not here. I don’t want to put this moment on Rashford."
