West Ham have asked to be kept informed on Marcus Rashford’s situation, according to talkSPORT.
Rashford faces an uncertain future at Manchester United having recently been dropped by head coach Ruben Amorim.
The 27-year-old has admitted he is ‘ready for a new challenge’ away from Old Trafford, with United open to offers.
West Ham would consider a loan move for Rashford but know he is more likely to join a top European side.
Napoli, Juventus, AC Milan and Borussia Dortmund have all been credited with an interest in the England forward.
It is understood the Red Devils are resigned to the fact they cannot sell Rashford this month and a loan deal is their only option.
The news coincides with the Hammers appointing Graham Potter as their new manager on Thursday morning.
Julen Lopetegui was sacked on Wednesday after a dismal eight months in charge and left West Ham 14th in the Premier League.
Former Chelsea and Brighton boss Potter has signed a two-and-a-half year contract at the London Stadium.
