Rodwell Move Near?

Sir Alex Ferguson could be forced to step up his interest in Jack Rodwell - considering a move as soon as January for the Everton starlet.

The United boss would have preferred to hold off the transfer until the summer; however, strong interest from Chelsea, whose transfer ban has been lifted during the mid-season window, has changed matters.

Man City are also said to be interested in the England U21 midfielder.
