Report: United close in on Rodwell

Published Mar. 12, 2011 1:15 p.m. ET

Rodwell, who came through the youth ranks at Goodison Park, has been a target for United since making his first-team breakthrough with the Toffees. The Red Devils apparently failed with a £15million bid for Rodwell in the January transfer window but an increased offer of around £25million could clinch a deal in the summer. Ferguson is looking to rebuild his midfield with the likes of veteran Paul Scholes nearing the end of his glittering career. And the highly-rated Rodwell, 20, would fit the bill as a player with great potential who has his best days ahead of him.
