The 20-year-old has become one of the most exciting talents in Portugal after making his Porto debut in 2010 and has gone on to make 66 appearances so far, scoring 19 goals. The Mail claim that Rodriguez has already indicated he would be open to a move to Old Trafford should the opportunity present itself.

It’s also suggested that United may be ready to sell Brazilian midfielder Anderson in order to fund a move for Rodriguez, with the 24-year-old struggling to make an impact since his move from Porto in 2007. Anderson has been plagued by injury problems this season and has been restricted to making just 11 starts this campaign, and Fergie may be ready to cut his loses on him.
