A shock club fighting for relegation has entered the race to sign Marcus Rashford, according to a report.
Rashford's Manchester United future has been clouded by uncertainty ever since he told Henry Winter that he's 'ready for a new challenge'.
Several clubs have since been linked with Rashford, including a Premier League side.
Rashford hasn't played since his outing against Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League last month and missed his side's game against Liverpool through illness.
On the 27-year-old, Ruben Amorim explained: "It is a hard situation. I understand that these players have a lot of people around them, making choices that are not the first idea from the player.

"I am always here to help Marcus as another player. I have to do what I have to do. They chose to do the interview as it is not just Marcus. I understand that.
"At the moment I focus on improving Marcus and we need a talented guy like Marcus. I forget the interview now and see what I see on the pitch."
A January transfer has been mooted, with a report in Italy claiming Como have set their sights on Rashford.

Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio states Como, who are managed by former Arsenal and Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas, have joined a growing list of suitors.
Di Marzio has claimed that Como will have 'no problem' with the deal for the star forward 'from an economic point of view'.
The newly-promoted Serie A side have been ambitious in the transfer market, having recruited the likes of Raphael Varane, Andrea Belotti, Nico Paz and Pepe Reina, with Dele Alli training at the club.
Varane, who is working as a club ambassador following his retirement, could persuade Rashford to leave Man United for Como, having played together at Man United.

Como, however, face stiff competition from fellow Italian side AC Milan, who have been speaking to the player's representatives.
