According to reports from Aksam, Solskjaer expressed his desire to bring the 27-year-old forward to Besiktas in a recent meeting with the club’s management.

Solskjaer, who previously coached Rashford at Manchester United, plans to meet with the player to discuss the possibility of a move to Türkiye. Rashford’s discontent at Manchester United has fueled speculation about his future, with Besiktas eager to capitalize on this opportunity.
