Man United Reportedly in James Rodriguez Talks, Eye Star to Replace Wayne Rooney

Manchester United will reportedly launch a move for Real Madrid misfit James Rodriguez as a replacement for Everton-bound club captain Wayne Rooney.

According to The Independent's Miguel Delaney, Los Merengues may be open to selling Rodriguez as they attempt to raise funds in order to fund a push for AS Monaco striker Kylian Mbappe.

United were recently linked with a move for Real striker Alvaro Morata before switching their attention to Everton frontman Romelu Lukaku, wrote Delaney, although that isn't said to have hurt their chances at landing Rodriguez.
