Manchester United signed four top stars last summer to strengthen their team for the last campaign. This summer, the Red Devils have so far signed only one player in the form of Victor Lindelof.
As far as the attacking midfield is concerned, Real Madrid star James Rodriguez has been linked with Man Utd for a long time and it seems that his stance has not changed.
According to Diario Gol, the Colombian international is only willing to join Manchester United this summer or else he will stay at the club. The issue is that the British giants are not prepared to meet his asking price which should be a figure close to 80 million euros.
The Spanish source claim that Zidane wants James to be sold but club president Florentino Perez is not prepared to let him leave for cheap.

The report further suggests that if the transfer saga drags on for far too long, Perez may opt to sell Rodriguez for a cut price or Zidane may have to deal with the problem of having him around for another campaign. We shall see how the transfer saga unfolds.
A week ago, Diario Gol claimed that the South American playmaker has said yes to joining Man United and has already agreed everything with the Old Trafford club. Back in May, even Don Balon claimed that United agreed terms to sign James.
The 25-year-old playmaker is naturally a central attacking midfielder but he can effectively be deployed in any attacking position. His current deal with the European Champions will expire in 2020 and he earns £185,000-a-week (Star).
The former Monaco attacker scored 11 goals and provided 13 assists in 33 appearances for the Los Blancos in the last campaign. In your opinion, should United splash the cash to hire his services?

James is not a kind of player that will excel at united, so Man Utd should forget about him and go on to sign Alvaro morata.
I don’t know why we are always linked to Madrid’s rejects, surely we ain’t that low. CR7 a legend by his standards but we had to sell him to Madrid at his peak because he forced that move, Morara is a descent young footballer but not even worth the amounts being talked about. If we are trying and failing to lure the likes of Harry Kane, Neymar, Lukaku, Osmoune Dembele or Kilian Mbappe, forget about Madrid rejects and promote or own Rushfords, Lingards, Martial, Pogbas and Mikhitarians..formidable kids we have..
Cristiano had a dream of playing for Real Madrid one day but that doesn’t mean he forced the move to join the Spanish club. Manchester United should be held responsible for letting him face the exit door at his peak as it claimed Real’s bidding price for Ronaldo then was too much to be rejected. If you truly value a player, I don’t any amount should push you to selling him.
I think we can build Rashford and Martial to became more serious players than they are now and forget about CR7
Nana…………….Rashford has taken his chance but I feel Martial is a bit hot/cold kind of player. He was brought in to score goals…two seasons down the line and we are still saying he has ‘potential’…for how long? Martial is frustrating to watch.
Rodriguez is good. But should be way cheaper
Manchester United should be a
serious for once.It has been always like this at Manchester United when it comes to transfer business they always struggle too much.When these transfers are completed that’s when we we ll’l believe that something has happened.As for me hopes are gone.
