Manchester United have announced the £16m signing of Argentina international defender Marcos Rojo on a five-year contract. The 24-year-old joins from Sporting Lisbon, with Nani joining the Portuguese club on a season-long loan. Playing for the worlds biggest club is a dream for me, said Rojo, who is Uniteds third signing of the summer. The left-sided defender played in six games as Argentina reached this summers World Cup final in Brazil. Rojos arrival strengthens manager Louis van Gaals defensive options. The Dutchman started with debutant Tyler Blackett as part of his three-man defence in last Saturdays 2-1 home defeat by Swansea City. By the end of the game, winger Ashley Young was being used in the left-back role following a switch of formations. Marcos is a very gifted defender. He can play either as a central defender or left-back, said Van Gaal.
