Sporting Lisbon defender goes to Manchester United
Argentine international Marcos Rojo travels to Red Devils.
Portuguese club Sporting Lisbon's Argentine defender Marcos Rojo has confirmed that he will play for English Premier League giants Manchester United.
According to the British "Daily Star" newspaper, the 24-year-old said that he is signing for Manchester United over the next few days after the Red Devils finally agreed a deal with Sporting.
"I am at home with the family in Portugal, but getting ready to travel to Manchester tomorrow," he said.
"It was difficult [to leave]; the truth is it was hard during some moments, but everything is being sorted out in the best way, as I wanted, because my idea is to keep improving," Rojo was quoted as saying.
Known for playing as a center-back or left-back, Rojo scored six goals in 28 matches last season at Sporting Lisbon.
