Watch the £25million-rated Colombia international who has
already admitted it's his dream to play for the Red Devils
Manchester United are lining up Porto winger James
Rodriguez as a potential replacement for Nani.
Portugal star Nani has already admitted publicly he may quit Old
Trafford this summer, and Inter Milan are watching developments
closely.
Colombian starlet Rodriguez, 20, is rated in the £25million
range by Porto, and has already admitted a dream of playing for
United.
United scouts have been tracking Rodriguez this season and even
went to South America to watch him in action for the national
team.
However, they may face competition for his signature from Bayern
Munich.
Nani, meanwhile, fears he is being frozen out of Old
Trafford.
He is said be furious he has had no contact from anyone at
United during Euro 2012, despite impressing at the tournament.
United manager Alex Ferguson is known for keeping in touch with
his players by phone or text message, but sources within the
Portugal camp say Nani is angry and feels isolated.
Message received: Nani's angry that United boss Fergie
hasn't rung him
The revelation comes amid fears within Nani’s camp that
the winger is being forced out of United, who have yet to offer him
a new contract.
Nani still has two years left on his existing deal, but it was
expected the 25-year-old would be rewarded with an improved
contract to reflect the progress he has made at United.
But negotiations between Nani’s representatives and United have
stalled, with the former fearing the latter are trying to ship him
out of Old Trafford.
The arrival of Japan star Shinji Kagawa from Borussia Dortmund,
and the fact wingers Ashley Young and Antonio Valencia are already
established at United, has cast doubt on Nani’s future.
