Manchester United may have to sacrifice Danny Welbeck if they're to land Everton defender Jack Rodwell.
The Mail on Sunday says Everton manager David Moyes will consider letting his young star leave only if United offer Welbeck in a player-plus-cash deal.
The England Under-21 striker is on loan at Sunderland, whose manager, Steve Bruce, would love to sign him on a permanent basis.
But Sir Alex Ferguson has insisted Welbeck will return to Old Trafford after his loan spell.
Now the United boss could find his own resolve to hang on to the player tested by his determination to sign Rodwell.
