On the move: Manchester United want to land James Rodriguez

Manchester United have asked Porto if they’d consider swapping James Rodriguez for Red Devils winger Luis Nani during the summer transfer window.

Colombian winger Rodriguez is one of the finest prospects in Europe, and United are hopeful of trying to get a foothold in a possible deal before the end of the season.

And according to reports in Portugal, Sir Alex Ferguson has spoken to senior Porto officials regarding a possible swap deal that would see 20-year-old Rodriguez move to Old Trafford with out-of-favour Nani going in the opposite direction.

Patrice Evra, Kiko Macheda and Bebe could all be moved on, while Rodriguez would join Wilfried Zaha as part of a refreshed lineup.

Porto have previously resisted all attempts to sell Rodriguez, having reportedly snubbed a £20million offer from AC Milan last summer.
