Como want to sign Man United star ahead of Milan

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 financial concerns.

Marcus Rashford’s future is a big topic of speculation, and he is on the radar of several clubs.

AC Milan have already contacted his agent in Italy, and Juventus have also 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.

Journalist Gianluca Di Marzio has now claimed 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 them.

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 Rashford is unlikely to join a relegation-threatened club.

They are one point clear of the drop zone despite splashing the cash last summer. 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 season.

If he were to impress at one of those clubs, there is a possibility of a future permanent transfer.

United may need to compensate Rashford so he accepts a salary reduction to leave.
