The Red Devils are reportedly eager to sign the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 youngster as a replacement for Luis Nani, who is set to leave the club in the next few months.
Manchester United's alleged interest in James Rodriguez has risen exponentially in the last few days, especially after the 19-time English giants reconsidered their position on Portuguese star Nani.
Ever since the emergence of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Antonio-Valencia-c6345 and Ashley Young as first-choice starters on the wing, the former Sporting Lisbon man has struggled to find regular game time at the helm and has fallen down the pecking order in recent weeks.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 on Sunday and according to the media tabloids, the Reds have been unsuccessful in their contract negotiations with the player.
Although talented, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nani-c27299 has the power to impress and frustrate in equal measure and so far this season, he has done the latter, irking Fergie along the way.
The tactician has bore with the winger in tough times but having seen the attacker struggle to maintain consistent form, Ferguson may well part ways with him in the summer.
A replacement will be required and if the current wind is anything to go by, James Rodriguez might be on his way from FC Porto to Manchester United soon. The Colombian International has made a name for himself in Europe following some scintillating displays
and has been eyed by a number of teams, but his heart is set on a switch to Old Trafford when the Reds come calling.
Porto are less than willing customers, but if they were to receive the appropriate bid, a transfer could very well be drafted up. Ferguson has already confessed to being a fan of the talented forward, although he remained coy when quizzed about the move
by the media.
Rodriguez is valued in the £30 million price range by his current employers and while the amount is high, the player has justified it in the past few years and has a long way to in his burgeoning career, something which he can enhance whilst plying his trade
in Manchester.
