Man Utd warned off Wolfsburg fullback Rodriguez

Manchester United are eyeing Wolfsburg fullback Ricardo Rodriguez.

The Daily Mail says Wolfsburg have made it clear they have no intention of selling Rodriguez, despite rumours linking the Swiss left-back with a move to Manchester United.

New United boss Louis van Gaal is believed to be interested in bolstering his defence, particularly the left-back spot following Patrice Evra's switch to Juventus.

Reports from Germany suggest United have contacted Rodriguez's agent about a possible move, but Wolfsburg's sporting director Klaus Allofs has ruled out a potential transfer.

"That will have been a brief conversation," Allofs told Kicker when asked about United's meeting with Rodriguez's agent. "Ricardo is not going anywhere."
