Seems like Rojo is joining United.

After biding for Cuadrado, Blind, Vidal, Di Maria and many more we have gotten Rojo..........

FFS I cant believe United is being this disastrous with transfers this season. If this is true it will be one of the least useful transfers we could have gotten.
He is a great player but we already have Shaw. And this transfer would mean Blind would be off the charts together with Cuadrado.

so yeah.. lets keep getting players we dont need.

and also the transfer includes Giving away Nani! why?... I would rather keep Nani ant United.

Deal for Rojo seems to be going through. Woodward seems to be clueless yet again for another season.

Hint at Di Maria possibly coming to? Sigh

Pic above was actually liked by Rojo on Instagram. I checked the source and it's legit. I don't think RM would let him go.

So what position does he play in? is he any good? genuinely have never heard of him before, lol

He can play CB as well as wing back. I don't think Nani deserves to stay here. His performances have been shit so far in the last 2 years. I think we had given him enough to stake a first place claim, but he wasted them. I really don't want DiMaria because he could hinder Janujaz's development unless van Gaal opts 4-4-2. Not a bad signing, we needed another LB especially since Shaw was injured.

Good signing, but not exactly what United need in my opinion. van Gaal probably wants to play him as a centre back, can't seen him picking Shaw place.

Bit out of topic but:

Manchester United and Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has told Angel Di Maria he can leave the European Champions for Old Trafford if he wants

this guy has caused alot of contreversy at sporting, he made a transfer request and refused to play for sporting after the WC. righly so, with respect for sporting as a proud club, the coach and/or president threatened to put him on the bench for the entire remaining 2 years of his contract sending a message to other football whores.. sadly the transfer went ahead but respect to sporting

NANI back to Sporting lisboa???

knibis that was the president of sporting i think

What do you mean we don't need him? He can play as a left back and is also a center back. We need backup at center back. So it's definitely not useless. Of course he's not a world-class center back or someone on the level of Benatia but he is still a good player. And Nani just has to go. He's just not the same player he was. And this doesn't count out Cuadrado or Blind. They don't even play the same positions except Blind who plays wonderfully at CB and I'm sure we'd get him if we submit a bid. At least the man wants to come to United and seems to have passion. We have about 12 days to sort out all our weak positions and this is a start. Let's do this.

@knibis The thing is Sporting CP, Porto and Benfica are all big clubs. But at the end of the day portuguese league is much worse than BPL or La Liga, and (what I want to believe atleast) players want to play for the best leagues in the world whether it's Leicester City or Man Utd. Fortunately Sporting get great transfer fee from it, to invest it somewhere they want. But I agree 100% that loyalty has gone from football totally.

I personally think that it's great signing for Man Utd, if he's that good what I've heard. I saw him obviously in WC, he was great there. It's exactly what they need. A left footed left centreback, who is great with the ball. It seems like Blackett isn't ready yet.

Nice transfer,but hopping Rojo don't gonna be so good

All and all, I'm amazed that Deadward was able to complete this deal...

i know @decentk

but it was the way he left, like cry baby with 0 respect for his club, most players that leave at least have some respect for the club

but hey, he has apologized atleast http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/500669/Man-Utd-targets-Marcos-Rojo-APOLOGISES-to-Sporting-for-skipping-training

Rojo say goodbye to European football for the rest of your life. The only European trip you'll have is moving from portugal to England and awat to swansea. Really amazing isnt it Rojo?

Getting players you dont need? In LVG system you need 3 solid CBs and good WBs. Rojo can play in either of them. And frankly he is better than Jones, Smalling, and Evans.

One of the stand out performers during the WC and i hope he grows and shines. Argentina will benefit from it.

It's official . I like him a lot.

Rojo and Blind both play LB or LWB and occasionally as CB. They are very good players on their main position but I dont think neither of them play decently enough as fullbacks. instead of signing yet another LB who can play as CB why does it seems so hard to sign a natural CB?!

Im seriously disappointed with United signings this season...

Why Nani Why?! :'(

^ It's just a loan deal, hopefully he can reinvent himself and come back stronger for next season. We'll see.

I like his versatility as @raimondo90 and @Tuanis mentioned, but besides that he doesn't offer that much class in either of his many positions. Hopefully he improves under Van Gaal. Dream summer transfer window: Vidal, Hummels, Blind and Depay IN and Cleverley, Chicharito, Zaha, Anderson OUT. I still believe in giving Fellaini more chances and regular playing time. Chicharito can easily be replaced by Wilson.

Not going to judge him until the January transfer window but I do believe they could have done better. Anyway, I found this video interesting and relevant to the topic so I thought I should share it.

Rojo is pretty good, says I. He impressed greatly at the World Cup, and while playing in the Portuguese league may not be considered by some to be a proof of top-level ability, let's not forget that names like Falcao, James Rodiguez, Luiz, Moutinho, Pepe (don't laugh) and of course Ronaldo also came out of that league. Most of them without a stepping-stone like Monaco, which obviously was the case with James and Moutinho, too.

He certainly shouldn't be written of for only having played (yet) in Portugal. I have a feeling he'll be something special, now that he's hitting the big-time. ;)

I would have preferred Blind over Rojo, but I do not make these calls.
@V: Nice video mate. Carragher should use his brain a little more... He is a club legend for Liverpool, and should remember that he is a pundit and doesn't play for pool any more.
