Manchester United are reportedly looking into the possibility of Signing Real Madrid midfielder James Rodriguez. Both clubs have been discussed the transfer of Colombian international recently.
James’ future is in a big question at Real Madrid. Irritated by his replacement status at Real Madrid, James would have decided to leave and he has therefore ordered his agent Jorge Mendes to find a way as soon as possible.

Real Betis president Angel Haro claimed his star refused a new contract offered from the club. He has been planned by Real and Barcelona.
“If you make an offer to the player, he has a clause and another clubs pays that, or more, you cannot do anything. It is not a failure on our part. In the coming hours we can say precisely what Real Madrid have offered. But life goes on, other players will come, and we can say that nobody is irreplaceable.” Haro added.
Manchester United, Chelsea, and Juventus have shown an interest in James, but Manchester United have emerged as favourites for his signature. Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho would like to recruit the Colombian midfielder to replace Wayne Rooney, who has joined to Everton.
