Man Utd Transfer News: Reds Target ‘South American Ronaldo’

Manchester United are lining-up a move for Porto winger James Rodriquez as a replacement for unsettled Portugal star Nani, who’s attracting interest from Italy

Porto James Rodriguez

Manchester United are lining-up a move for Porto winger James Rodriquez as a replacement for unsettled Portugal star Nani, according to the Mirror.

The 21-year-old Rodriguez – who’s been nicknamed as the ‘South American Cristiano Ronaldo’ – has become one of Europe’s most highly-rated youngsters after a string of impressive performances for Porto.

The Colombian international is aware of United’s interest and has recently called the Premier League giants ‘a great club’. He said:

“We all know that Manchester United are a great club,”

“England is a great league but I’m thinking of Porto for now. We’re having a good time and personally I’m feeling fine and am focused on there.”

Rodriguez is quoted as saying in the Mirror

United’s interest in Rodriguez casts further doubt over the long-term future of Nani with the Mirror claiming Juventus and AC Milan are battling it out to land the winger for a cut-price £12.5m.

Nani was linked with a move away from Old Trafford this summer after United stalled on offering him a new deal and the Italian duo are keen to land the 25-year-old.

Nani has clocked up over 200 appearances since joining Man Utd in 2007 but has fallen out-of-favour with Sir Alex Ferguson after putting in a string of inconsistent performances over the past 12 months.
