James Rodriguez to Man Utd? Real Madrid star snubbed for Champions League final squad

James Rodriguez will play no part in Real Madrid's Champions League final after being sensationally dropped against Juventus by coach Zinedine Zidane.

The future of the Colombia star has been widely speculated upon in recent months, with a move to Manchester United mooted in the summer window.

While James has turned in some fine performances this season for Madrid he has lacked regular playing time, although he still managed a more than respectable 11 goals in 32 appearances in all competitions.

But there is no room for him in Zidane's matchday squad, as he was left off the bench at the Millennium Stadium.
