The Argentine showed at the World Cup that he can play at the highest level, as he played an instrumental role in his country reaching the finals, which was also validated by his selection in the team of the tournament. He plays for Sporting Lisbon, and has been an important player for them as well.
Rojo’s qualities
His versatility is what makes him potentially a great prospect for the English club, as he can play both at left back as well as centre back, This will give van Gaal the luxury of using him at both positions in his 3-5-2, hence adding to his value. He is also strong in the tackle, and possesses good speed, both qualities that will help him adjust quickly to the Premier League.
United are confident that the possibility of third-party elements in his contract will not cause any hindrance, and are of the opinion that the transfer will go ahead smoothly. Reports coming out of Portugal also suggest that the player refused to train on Tuesday in order to force a moves
United’s transfer interests
Apart from Rojo, United are also believed to renewed their interest in Real Madrid’s Angel Di Maria, and look intent on bidding for Ajax Amsterdam’s Daley Blind. Both Di Maria are versatile players, who will add a lot to the Red Devils squad.
Di Maria will help inject some much needed pace and purpose in the United attacking midfield, and can also offer a potential possibility of playing at wing back while Blind is a left-wing back by trade, who had a great season in midfield last season.
If moves for all 3 are completed soon, the overall look of the club’s squad will be much more imposing and they will be right back in contention for the Premier League title.
