Got some interesting and kinda good news United fans this was just reported on BBC Sport only a couple of minutes ago please read and comment:) Manchester United are in discussions with Sporting Lisbon in an attempt to conclude Marcos Rojos proposed move to Old Trafford. Sporting have rejected Uniteds £15.9million bid for the 24-year-old. A complicated contractual situation may turn into a legal row, with Rojos advisors threating action. But with the start of the Premier League season approaching, United are attempting to resolve the issue through negotiation. Rojo, who played for Argentina in the World Cup final, is training on his own after Sporting suspended him. His representatives, Doyen Sports, believe they are owed 75% of the fee from any rejected bid. It has said it will take all necessary measures to defend its rights. The potential for a long legal case is not something that suits United, who will definitely be without Luke Shaw for Saturdays Premier League game with Swansea and also have an injury doubt over Jonny Evans. New manager Louis van Gaal has been looking for a central defender following the summer departures of Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand. Source: BBC Sport #jj21
