After suffering a shock defeat on opening day against Swansea, Louis van Gaal and Manchester United are in immense pressure to sign top players.
Only one midfielder in Herrera was never going to be the answer for United’s weak midfield department as it was evident vs Swans.
Similarly, their poor defense continued with only major defender signed Luke Shaw injured and they badly need top class defenders.
One defender who who has the deal with the Red Devils in the coming days is Argentine and Sporting star Marcos Rojo.
Sporting Lisbon confirmed via twitter account that Rojo is sold to Man United while Nani is returning home.
Also, According to reports, the versatile defender rated around $26 million himself confirmed that he is joining Manchester United and it is a massive boost for the club. He will be travelling to Manchester today to seal the signing.
As per the provided link, Rojo told Radio Continental in Argentina:
“I am at home with the family in Portugal, but getting ready to travel to Manchester tomorrow [on Tuesday],”
“The truth is this is a dream. The World Cup was really nice, and now this step in my career. I am very happy.”
The star also claimed that he is glad that Van Gaal and United wanted him and he will fight to win his place in the side.
Rojo was a key figure for Argentina in their defensive department as they reached the final of the World Cup.
United must not stop spending now and look to add more quality players before the transfer window closes.
