Man Utd confident of pipping Chelsea to Real Madrid star after Cristiano Ronaldo setback
MANCHESTER UNITED expect to be able to convince at least one Real Madrid forward to move over the summer.
James Rodriguez is reportedly unsettled in Spain, putting a number of clubs on alert
According to the Sun, United have admitted defeat in their pursuit of Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo but instead have turned their sights on James Rodriguez.
The 24-year-old is seen as the ideal man to add spark to United’s turgid performances and lift some of the attacking burden from Wayne Rooney.
And while Louis van Gaal is also said to be eyeing an expensive move for Lazio’s Felipe Anderson, he may reach further into United’s deep pockets over the summer to land Rodriguez.
