This season, the Colombian has 11 goals and 13 assists to his name in all competitions, but he has failed to get enough game time nonetheless. And with Zinedine Zidane planning for further additions this summer to his attack, Rodriguez has decided to quit the club, and is now close to joining Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford.
