James Rodriguez will follow Falcao & Diego Costa in long line of Mendes-Mourinho signings

The Manchester United manager has often called on his fellow Portuguese for players throughout his career

James Rodriguez is being heavily linked with a move to Manchester United and the completion of the transfer would see Jose Mourinho sign another player represented by 'super-agent' Jorge Mendes.

Throughout Mourinho's managerial career, the 'Special One', who is also a Mendes client, has regularly signed big-name players from the books of his compatriot.

Mourinho and Mendes, whose most famous client is Cristiano Ronaldo, initially worked together when the former left Porto to become Chelsea manager and the likes of Ricardo Carvalho, Paulo Ferreira and Tiago followed him to Stamford Bridge.
