Man Utd Considering Big-Money James Rodriguez Bid

Manchester United could be set to end James Rodriguez’s troubles at Real Madrid by making a big-money bid for the Colombia international.James has seen his career at the Santiago Bernabeu go off the boil under former coach Rafa Benitez and his successor Zinedine Zidane, making only seven league starts so far in 2015-16. His recent exclusion from the Frenchman’s first starting XI against Deportivo La Coruna has sparked speculation that the 24-year-old’s time in Madrid could be nearing an early end.
And Goal understands that United have been alerted to James’ potential availability by the player’s agent Jorge Mendes, who has developed an extensive relationship with the Old Trafford club in recent years on a number of notable transfers.
Mendes has become known as one of football’s biggest-hitting agents, with players including Cristiano Ronaldo, Angel Di Maria, Radamel Falcao, David de Gea and Thiago Silva in his portfolio, and United have been a key ally in recent years.
