Rodriguez, 24, shares the same agent as newly-appointed United boss Jose Mourinho, Jorge Mendes, meaning the deal could be accelerated now that Colombia have been knocked out of the Copa America.

Rodriguez joined Real for £56m from Monaco after the 2014 World Cup, but could be available to United for around £50m, according to the Daily Mirror.

Colombia were knocked out of the Copa America on Wednesday, losing 2-0 to Chile in the semi-final in Chicago.
