Man Utd transfer news LIVE updates: James Rodriguez to Chelsea, two clubs want Smalling

06:20: Real Madrid midfielder James Rodriguez could be closer to joining Chelsea than Manchester United.

That is according to Spanish journalist Eduardo Inda.

Manchester United have been heavily linked with a move for the Real Madrid midfielder, who could have played his last game for the recently crowned La Liga champions.

But Inda told Spanish TV programme El Chiringuito de Jugones: “The club that has more options to take James is not Manchester United, but Chelsea and is the team that is nearest the signing.”

05:10: West Ham and West Brom are leading the race to sign Chris Smalling from Manchester United, according to The Sun.

Jose Mourinho looks ready to offload the centre-half this summer as he makes room for Burnley defender Michael Keane, a product of United’s academy.

Hammers boss Slaven Bilic is thought to be a fan of the former Fulham man, although strengthening at centre-half is not a priority at the London Stadium.

While West Brom manager Tony Pulis is looking at reuniting Smalling with former Red Devils team-mate Jonny Evans.
