Manchester United winger Nani is being linked with Porto.A Bola says United are considering using Nani in a swap offer for Porto star James Rodriguez.

The Colombia international has been a long-term target for United manager Sir Alex Ferguson , who has so far baulked at Porto's €45 million asking price.

Ferguson is hoping to drive down the cash component by including Nani in their offer, though any deal will hinge on the Portuguese accepting a massive pay-cut to return home.
