James Rodriguez has reportedly already decided which number he will wear at
Manchester United next season.
The Real Madrid ace has been repeatedly linked with a move to
Old Trafford after falling down the pecking order under Zinedine Zidane.
And
Don Balon claims that
Jose Mourinho has now sanctioned the deal, leading to Rodriguez picking his squad number ahead of a summer move.
The report claims he would like to wear the
no.10 shirt, currently worn by Wayne Rooney, who looks set to leave the club in the summer.
Rodriguez
and Mourinho share the same agent, Jorge Mendes, while it is well-known
that the United boss would like to increase his creative options ahead
of the new season.
Meanwhile, Mourinho is 'confident' of signing
Willian from Chelsea - according to
ESPN.
The Brazilian scored twice in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley but is not a regular starter under Antonio Conte.
Chelsea
are likely to be reluctant to do business with a Premier League rival,
but Mourinho is said to be optimistic of doing a deal worth around £32m.
