Fergie eyes summer move for Rodwell

Sir Alex Ferguson will try to sign Everton’s Jack Rodwell next summer as he continues to look for midfield reinforcements.

Manchester United tried to close the deal in January but were forced to back off as Everton didn’t want to sell the 19-year-old in the midst of the relegation fight.

However, with Paul Scholes and Michael Carrick both past their prime, Fergie is set to reignite his interest in the Everton midfielder.

According to The Sun, United are prepared to offer £15 million for Rodwell, although they may have to raise the bid in order to land the highly rated youngster.

Rodwell has missed a big part of the season through injury, and he is set for another spell on the sidelines, but that is unlikely to stop Sir Alex Ferguson from launching another assault on the Under-21 England international.
