The Colombian has been strongly linked with a move away from Madrid this summer after falling down the pecking order under Zinedine Zidane.

With a host of European clubs chasing his signature, reports in Spain suggest he has decided on a move to Manchester United.

And Spanish publication Don Balon claim Jose Mourinho has already given his approval to make a transfer happen.

James Rodriguez is reportedly keen on a move to Manchester United

They suggest Rodriguez's desire to join the Red Devils has reached the stage where he has outlined what shirt number he wants.

Rodriguez, who already wears the No10 for Madrid, reportedly wants to take Wayne Rooney's No10 jersey at Old Trafford.

And the attacker could well get his wish with Rooney's future uncertain.

The England international could call time on his United career at the end of the season having struggled for game time.

Rooney is still determined to play at the highest level and has been linked with moves to Everton, China and MLS.

The 31-year-old is under contract with United until 2019.
