Football - England Under 21 Training

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is preparing a summer move for Everton starlet Jack Rodwell , according to a report in the News of the World this morning.

Ferguson is planning to pair newly signed central defender Chris Smalling alongside Jack Rodwell in the heart of the Manchester United defence in years to come.

The Premier League champions will bid 12 million pounds for Rodwell who came through the ranks at Everton.

Relations between Manchester United and the Toffees are still frosty over Wayne Rooney’s move to Old Trafford and Ferguson is keen to start negotiations as soon as possible.

Manchester United will also face competition for Rodwell from the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea and Everton boss David Moyes will be eager to hang on to the young starlet who is contracted to the club until the end of season 2013/2014.

If I was a betting man, and I am by the way, I would gamble a large sum of money that Jack Rodwell will sooner or later become a Manchester United player. Not wishing to rain on Everton’s parade or indeed mean any disrespect to the Merseyside club, but the young Englishman will surely decide in the next year (or even sooner) that in order to further his career he will leave Goodison Park and with Sir Alex known to be a big admirer a move to Old Trafford does seem on the cards and will further add to a growing list of young talent being assembled at the Premier League title holders.

The £18m rated England Under 21 international has become a much sought after property since he first exploded onto the scene a couple of years ago and the rapidly maturing youngster has become adept at playing both in the centre of defence when called upon but more successfully in the centre of the Toffees midfield.

As the likes of Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Gary Neville come towards the end of their Manchester United careers it appears that Sir Alex is building a new breed of Fergie’s Fledglings with the likes of Chris Smalling, Jonny Evans, Darron Gibson and Mare Biram Diouf all looking to have bright futures at the club and with a host of established players still looking to have many years ahead of them it seems that Ferguson has much to look forward to.

If they can nab Jack Rodwell from Everton it will no doubt anger David Moyes in much the same way a certain Wayne Rooney’s exit greatly soured relations between the clubs but could well take the talented youngster to a new level and perhaps make him a future England captain?
