Sporting Lisbon defender Marcos Rojo goes to 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.
