Marcos Rojo Confirms Manchester United Move

Sporting Lisbon defender Marcos Rojo confirmed he will be joining Manchester United in a "dream" move.
Rojo's future has been the centre of much speculation after United expressed an interest in the Argentina international following his exploits at the World Cup in Brazil last month.

United's attempts to sign Rojo hit a snag when Sporting and the Doyen agency, who own 75 per cent of the 24-year-old's rights, were embroiled in a public row over a potential transfer fee.

Rojo also missed training last week to force through a move to the Premier League, though he was later disciplined by the Portuguese club.

And after Thomas Vermaelen chose Barcelona, a decision which left Van Gaal reeling, Rojo has emerged as a priority target.

The 24-year-old was impressive at left-back in the Argentina team which reached the World Cup final, and has played centre-back at Sporting for two years, starring as they finished second in Portugal last season.
