da 888: According to AS, Real Madrid attacker James Rodriguez has turned down the chance to join Inter Milan this summer because he wants to move to Manchester United.
da brwin: Rodriguez’s statistics from the 2016-17 campaign are actually quite impressive, managing eight goals and six assists in just 13 La Liga starts, in addition to netting a hat-trick in his only Copa del Rey appearance.
The 25-year-old has been strongly linked with a move away from the Bernabeu over the last couple of weeks, however, and it appears likely that the Colombian will depart after being left out of the Real Madrid squad for Saturday night’s Champions League final against Juventus.
Incredibly, the number 10 has not even made the bench for Los Blancos, with Gareth Bale, Alvaro Morata and Marco Asensio providing the attacking options from the sidelines.
Man United supporters have already been reacting to Bale’s omission from the XI, but there are some that believe that Rodriguez could also be heading for Old Trafford in this summer’s transfer window.
It would be some deal if the Red Devils could find a way to sign both Bale and Rodriguez before the start of the 2017-18 campaign, although they might have to settle for just one.
