Manchester United enter race for Real Madrid playmaker James Rodriguez?

Manchester United have reportedly identified Real Madrid playmaker James Rodriguez as a potential summer target.

While United will hand Ole Gunnar Solskjaer significant transfer funds during the next transfer window, a large portion could be spent on Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho.

However, according to AS, United are also giving thought to making an offer for out-of-favour Rodriguez.

Although the 28-year-old has made 12 appearances this season, it has been widely documented that Zinedine Zidane is happy to part ways with the Colombia international.

With just over a year remaining on Rodriguez's contract, United may feel that they can sign the creator for a cut-price fee.

Everton and Napoli are also said to be monitoring the situation.
