16th-placed club now want to sign 'unstoppable' United star ahead of UCL giants - report
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim could reinforce the squad with a couple of signings this winter.
A new striker and a left wing-back are among the priorities, but new additions could depend on players leaving.
Loan and permanent transfers could be key to recouping funds and wages to ease PSR concerns.
Marcus Rashford’s future is a big topic of speculation, and he is presently on the radar of several clubs.
AC Milan have already contacted with his brother/agent in Italy, and Juventus have likewise held a meeting.
The Rossoneri are reluctant to pay more than half of Rashford’s £300,000 per week wages for a short-term loan.
Amidst this, Gianluca Di Marzio claims that newly-promoted Serie A outfit Como are surprise contenders for Rashford.
The club are languishing in the 16th spot in Serie A, but they have the financial capacity to pay his weekly wages this term.
Former United star Raphael Varane is the club ambassador at Como. He could persuade Rashford to join Cesc Fabregas’ side.
Rashford unlikely to join struggling Como
The England international has fallen out-of-favour under manager Ruben Amorim and has not played in the last six games for United. His future is clearly away from the club.
Rashford, described as ‘unstoppable‘ by former United manager Erik ten Hag, could leave on loan this winter before negotiating a permanent transfer when the season ends.
Milan, Juventus and Borussia Dortmund have come forward with loan proposals, but none are expected to pay his salary in full for a loan deal.
Como may be able to do so with wealthy owners, but we don’t see the prospect of Rashford joining a relegation-threatened club.
Despite the vast signings in the summer, Como are one point clear of the drop zone. They would not be a good sporting project for Rashford.
Rashford is more likely to join Milan, Juventus or Dortmund, where he can play Champions League football this campaign.
If he were to impress at one of those clubs, there is a possibility of a future permanent transfer.
It could depend on a pay-off from United so that he can accept a salary reduction to leave.
