Manchester United are on the verge of signing Marcos Rojo for £16million after the Argentina defender handed in a transfer request at Sporting Lisbon. Louis van Gaal has been scouring the market for someone to play left-back or central defence after missing out on Thomas Vermaelen, and the Dutchman has decided that Rojo fits the bill. United have tabled an offer and the 24-year-old has attempted to force the move through by demanding to leave Sporting. It is also understood that he refused to train with his teammates on Tuesday.
