Marcos Rojo 'set to leave Manchester United on loan'

Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo is reportedly on the verge of re-joining Estudiantes on loan.

The 29-year-old has made 122 appearances for United since arriving from Sporting Lisbon in 2014.

Rojo has only featured on three occasions in the Premier League this season, though, and has not played in any competition for the 20-time English champions since the start of November.

According to The Mirror, the Argentina international is set for a loan move to Estudiantes, where he came through the youth system before making 53 appearances for the first team ahead of a switch to Spartak Moscow in 2011.

The report claims that United had hoped to sell the versatile defender during the January transfer window but have now agreed to sanction a loan move.

Rojo, who was a regular during his first three seasons in Manchester, still has 18 months left to run on his £100,000-a-week contract at Old Trafford.
