Man Utd keen on James Rodriguez

Premier League giants Manchester United have been showing interest in Real Madrid forward James Rodriguez, according to Don Balon.

Jose Mourinho will reportedly be handed a €300 million transfer kitty in the summer and the Colombian has now emerged as his top target.

Manchester United are believed to have established initial contact with the player’s employers, but securing a deal for his services could prove a very difficult task.

Namely, James will be on loan at Bayern Munich until June 2019, while the Bavarians have the option to make the transfer permanent for €42 million.

And with the 26-year-old having impressed to produce 4 goals and 7 assists in first 17 Bundesliga fixtures, chances are the Bavarians will exercise said clause at the end of the current campaign.
