Manchester United 'among top options for James Rodriguez'

Manchester United are reportedly regarded as one of the most realistic destinations for Real Madrid playmaker James Rodriguez.

With just a year remaining on his contract and having been left out of Zinedine Zidane's most recent squads, Rodriguez is expected to leave the Bernabeu in the summer.

While Everton have been credited with an interest, Sport claims that the Colombia international has little interest in a switch to Goodison Park.

However, United and Wolverhampton Wanderers seemingly remain in the race for the 29-year-old, who may cost in the region of £22m.

Although Atletico Madrid are keen on the player, the report suggests that Los Blancos are against the idea of selling to their neighbours.

Nevertheless, with club officials keen to raise funds, much could depend on which team makes the most attractive offer.
