Marcus Rashford has reportedly emerged as an ambitious target for a newly-promoted club, where he would be able to reunite with former England team-mate Dele Alli.
Rashford recently admitted to wanting a move away from Manchester United in order to take up a 'new challenge' elsewhere. His brother and agent, Dwaine Maynard, has been in Italy this week to hold discussions with AC Milan.
Another club in Serie A are thought to be plotting an unlikely move for Rashford, with Gianluca Di Marzio reporting that newly-promoted Como have set their sights on the forward.
The side managed by Cesc Fabregas are said to be keen on making Rashford their marquee signing of the January window. The report suggests Como would have no problem meeting his salary demands, putting a deal within the realm of possibility.

It would see Rashford reunite with Alli, who has been training with Como in recent weeks. They could also leverage the presence of ex-United defender Raphael Varane following his ascension to the boardroom as a club ambassador.
It is said that a decision is yet to be made by Rashford, who understands the 'space, role and employment' that Como would be able to guarantee him.
AC Milan, meanwhile, are still interested in a loan deal for the United forward and have reportedly confirmed that he would have a leading role at the San Siro.
The Red Devils are said to be willing to pay a large proportion of Rashford's salary, believed to be around £350,000 per week, in order to get him off their books.

However, there remains a chance that Rashford could end up staying at Old Trafford, with United boss Ruben Amorim having kept the door open for a potential change of heart.
Speaking to Sky Sports before last weekend's draw with Liverpool, he said: "I already spoke a lot about Marcus, it depends more on him than on me. He has to want it really, really bad.
"He’s here, he’s in our squad so he’s our player and he's ready to play if I decide. In that moment [against Newcastle], I was really focused on trying to turn things around, to score one goal to open the game.
"I chose, for example, [Alejandro] Garnacho to do the job. I was not focused on the idea that I put Marcus on or not because he was away for four games. It was not that. If he’s there he’s ready to play but I chose Garnacho."
