Worthington is believed to be keen on a loan deal for the young United player after losing Arsenal loanee David Bentley for the rest of the season through injury.
"He's one of the players that has been mentioned," Worthington told the club's official website.
"A lot of these big clubs that can free numbers of personnel are in a lot of competitions. They tend to stick their younger players out in the FA Cup and other competitions."
"He's one of many that's been mentioned. We just have to wait and see."
