James Rodriguez: Bayern Munich star angers Real Madrid with Man Utd phone call - report
JAMES RODRIGUEZ has angered Real Madrid by expressing a desire to join Manchester United despite currently spending the season on loan at Bayern Munich, reports say.
But, with Juan Mata being linked with a move back to Spain, United could venture into the market.
Rodriguez could be considered an upgrade on Jesse Lingard, despite the England star’s fine form this season.
And El Gol Digital say his efforts to move have irked Real.
The La Liga giants could recall Rodriguez if Zinedine Zidane chooses to walk away at the end of the campaign.

Yet Rodriguez, it seems, has made a move to United his No 1 priority.
Bayern have already confirmed they will activate the player’s £37million clause to sign him permanently.
But they could choose to offload him to recoup a huge transfer fee.
United came close to signing Rodriguez during his time at Porto.
Yet the Colombia international instead chose to move to Monaco, where he spent one term before moving to Real after the 2014 World Cup.
