Coral’s Rumour Reel: Man Utd revive interest in Anderson

The Colombian playmaker has surprisingly struggled to hold down a regular starting position under Rafa Benitez at the Bernabeu and is reportedly interested in a move to Old Trafford for a mammoth sum of £59m.

Rodriguez struck 17 goals and made 18 assists for Los Blancos in 44 starts across all competitions last term, but he has managed just eight starts under the new boss this season, which will give United hope of striking a Real deal.

Isco another Galactico going?

As well as potentially losing Rodriguez, Benitez is at risk of seeing another forward star in Isco departing the club, with Manchester City in search of the Spaniard’s signature next year.

Manuel Pellegrini’s Sky Blues already possess plenty of attacking danger within their squad, with the likes of Raheem Sterling, David Silva and Yaya Toure continuing their fine form, but Isco could take them to another level.

The dynamic Spain international creator would provide City with a great deal of creativity and a link-up with fellow countryman Silva could be a deadly partnership in attack.
