Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho is reviving his interest in Real Madrid midfielder James Rodriguez.

The Mirror says Mourinho is confident of bringing the Colombia playmaker to Old Trafford after it was suggested Rodriguez is ready to turn his back on a permanent €45m move to Bayern Munich.

The Colombian joined Bayern on a two-year loan deal from Real Madrid last summer,

But reports in Spain claim he is ready to leave the Allianz Arena due to doubts over recently-appointed coach Niko Kovac.

And if he does force the move, United are said to be in the box seat to snap him up.
