#3 James Rodriguez

One player who has constantly been linked with a move away from Real Madrid is Colombian superstar James Rodriguez. Signed with much fanfare after a stupendous showing in the 2014 World Cup, Rodriguez has failed to live up to his immense talent at the Bernabeu.

The Colombian has failed to earn a regular starting berth and has fallen behind Isco and even talented youngster Marco Asensio in the pecking order. Still only 25, there is no doubting the quality James possesses.

Blessed with a brilliant first touch, great vision and a keen eye for goal, James Rodriguez is capable of unlocking defences with brilliant through balls, insightful crosses and intelligent runs. A perfect number 10, James Rodriguez will definitely improve the United squad.

Another interesting point is the fact that both James Rodriguez and Jose Mourinho share the same agent, Jorge Mendes and a blockbuster summer move could come to fruition in the summer transfer window.
