Manchester United sign Marcos Rojo for £16m on five-year deal

Manchester United have announced the £16m signing of Argentina international defender Marcos Rojo on a five-year contract.

The 24-year-old joins from Sporting Lisbon, with Nani joining the Portuguese club on a season-long loan.
"Playing for the world's biggest club is a dream for me," said Rojo, who is United's third signing of the summer.

The left-sided defender played in six games as Argentina reached this summer's World Cup final in Brazil.
Rojo's arrival strengthens manager Louis van Gaal's defensive options.

The Dutchman started with debutant Tyler Blackett as part of his three-man defence in last Saturday's 2-1 home defeat by Swansea City.

By the end of the game, winger Ashley Young was being used in the left-back role following a switch of formations.

"Marcos is a very gifted defender. He can play either as a central defender or left-back," said Van Gaal.

Good move for Rojo nd good signing for man utd. But I believe man utd need three more signings before the transfer market deadline.

i really want to be happy but the thought of cleverley
donning our jersey for more years to come weighs me
down. If i were to be in a room with adolf hitler, osama
bin laden and cleverly and with a gun with just 2 bullets, I'll
shoot cleverly twice.
