Manchester United don’t want Mourinho – Andy Gray

He has appeared just once in this season’s Champions League.

It’s understood that talks are underway and that signing Rodriguez will cost United in the region of £58.9m – a reasonable figure considering in excess of £250m has been spent on new players since Louis van Gaal’s arrival 18 months ago. Thats because the former Chelsea manager has been given an alternative job, despite being seemingly set to take over as results at Old Trafford spiral out of control.

With president Florentino Perez keen for Mourinho to have another shot in Spain, despite the infighting and turmoil that came at the end of his reign, the Mirrors report says agents have been contacted and an offer placed on the table.

The Milan keeper is not the only teenager that United are interested in, with scouts identifying Everton’s Joe Williams as someone they want Van Gaal to snap up, according to the Daily Mail. It’s also true that Madrid are nearly invincible, because they have the resources to turn the match in their favour at any time.

Unsurprisingly, Scholes isn’t a fan of the person who created the already infamous Mourinho themed Manchester United scarves on sale outside Old Trafford.

The rumours have since been fuelled even further after a Madrid spokesman told The Telegraph: “Real Madrid will not attempt to sign David de Gea in the January window, but the club is proposed to sign him in the summer for next season”.

One is Mourinho and the other is… wait for it…
