Amidst all the chaos surrounding Louis van Gaal at Manchester United, the transfer links continue.
And, however much blame we are to assign to the boss for the latest disaster, many to most of the players on the park against Southampton just weren’t good enough on the day.
So as well as potentially bringing a new manager in the other obvious shot in the arm would be to make a top signing this month.
The Express runs an ‘exclusive’ today which states that Manchester United are keen to sign Real Madrid man James Rodriguez as soon as possible:
MANCHESTER UNITED have been in talks over signing Real Madrid’s unsettled striker James Rodriguez.
Rodriguez is said to have fallen out with the top brass at Real Madrid and could be available for a quick transfer if Manchester United pay an astronomical fee.
soccersweep says: In reality Real Madrid are unlikely to sell a big-hitter of 24 years of age with a transfer ban hanging over them.
James may not be in the side right now but he is a top class player and the idea of Manchester United getting him in January is fanciful.
But if Real Madrid successfully appeal their transfer ban they may be more amenable to a summer bid.
Let’s see some of his better moments.
