James Rodríguez has managed to get into a select list of Colombian footballers: the “blessed” who have managed to mark Manchester United, for many the most important team in English football history.
The fact is, you don’t have to get bored.
Cucuteño’s midfielder closes the list that Hamilton Ricard started years ago and that a few more footballers have come through. An eye for every case:
Hamilton Ricard (Middlesbourgh)
In the 98-99 season of the Premier League (December 19), Ricard led his team’s victory against the European champions a few months later. Born area nine, the Chocoano received a great right wing assist and defined for the public’s attentive look at Old Trafford.
Hugo Rodallega (Wigan)
Ten years passed before a Colombian celebrated again for the ‘Red Devils’. During the 2008-09 season, on matchday 33, Rodallega opened the score after 21 minutes with a left foot that left Van der Sar no option, but then Tevez and Carrick came back.

Camilo Zuñiga (Watford)
This time, eight seasons passed to see a new Colombian joy. During the 2016-17 season, Zuñiga came in at 82 minutes and scored after 60 seconds. A goal identical to Ricard’s, pass back from the right and definition with the goal available. That was the second of Watford’s three goals against United.
James Rodriguez (Everton)
From eight we went to four seasons. In the current 2020-21, James scored the 2-2 set in the 52nd minute with a powerful left foot that left David De Gea with no option. In the end, everything would equalize with 3-3.
