We here at the Football Transfer Tavern had thought that once the Paul Pogba saga had finally been finalised the spending at Old Trafford would stop, well that may not be the case.
Accordign to reports from Spanish newspaper Marca, Man United boss Jose Mourinho is considering a shocking move for Real Madrid star, James Rodriguez.
The future of the Colombian international has been uncertain since Zinedine Zidane took over at the Bernabeu, and he could well be on his way out this summer.
The Champions League winners, however, reportedly value their man at a whopping £70m, which if met would smash the club record set when the Red Devils brought James’ predecessor Angel Di Maria for a fee of around £59m.
The new boss at Old Trafford has already added Eric Bailly, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Zlatan Ibrahimovic to his side this summer and looks set to announce the signing of Paul Pogba before the start of the season.
United fans, we want to hear from you! Can Mourinho justify spending another £7om this summer? Would you like to see the Colombian star at Old Trafford? Let us know below…
