With Paul Pogba reportedly on the verge of completing a transfer to Real Madrid, Manchester United would find themselves with a void in midfield which needs to be filled.

This is where James Rodriguez steps in as, despite lacking the physicality and ball carrying abilities of the Frenchman, the Colombian international more than makes up for that with his brilliant technique, close control and passing abilities.

The 27-year-old has seen his stock fall massively since his 2014 World Cup heroics and currently finds himself at a bit of a crossroads, as he is wanted by neither his parent club Real Madrid nor the club he was loaned out to - Bayern Munich.

A transfer away from the Bernabeu represents the best option and Manchester United have reportedly entered the race to sign the former Monaco man, with Real Madrid reportedly offering three players to the Premier League giants in exchange for wantaway man Paul Pogba.

Despite his recent struggles, James Rodriguez still remains one of the best playmakers in the world on his day and would undoubtedly help strengthen a weak Manchester United midfield.
