United academy graduate Rashford stunningly revealed his desire to leave Old Trafford in an interview last December.
He dropped the bombshell after being exiled by new Red Devils gaffer Ruben Amorim.
He told journalist Henry Winter: "For me, personally, I think I'm ready for a new challenge and the next steps.
"When I leave it's going to be, ‘No hard feelings.'
"You’re not going to have any negative comments from me about Manchester United.
"That’s me as a person. If I know that a situation is already bad I'm not going to make it worse.
"I've seen how other players have left in the past and I don't want to be that person.
"When I leave, I'll make a statement, and it will be from me."
Amorim said of Rashford's revelatory interview: "It is a hard situation.
"I understand these players have a lot of people around them, making choices that are not the first idea from the player.
"They chose to do the interview as it is not just Marcus."
Monaco are said to prepared to pick up a large chunk of Rashford's £315,000-a-week wages, although the forward himself is ready to play again for United if he is needed.
