United preparing £16m bid for Sporting Lisbon defender Marcos Rojo
It could well be a busy final few weeks of the summer transfer window for the 13-time Premier League champions as Rojo is lined up as well in a £16m switch.
The Guardian reports that despite interest from both Chelsea and Southampton in recent times it is the Red Devils that lead the chase for the Argentine.
The 24-year-old is an attractive prospect for new manager Louis van Gaal with his ability to play as both a left-back and in central defence.
