Man United star set to push for a move: 3 potential destinations including Wolves- Opinion

Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo has revealed in an interview with Ole that he will leave the club in the January transfer window if he does not get playing time at Old Trafford. The Argentinian defender said that playing in the Copa America for the national team was important and that he may be left out of the national team if he does not get game time at the English club.

With Rojo all but set to leave the club, which Premier League clubs could sign him?

Let’s take a look at 3 potential Premier League destinations for Marcos Rojo


Everton

The obvious choice seems to be Everton as it was the club that he was close to moving to in the summer transfer window, which Rojo himself mentioned in the interview. He said that a move to Everton could have happened, but due to some issues the deal did not go through.

Everton require another first-team centre back in their squad as their options at the heart of the defence are slim at the moment. Manager Marco Silva’s first-choice options are Yerry Mina and Michael Keane, while Mason Holgate is the third option. New signing Jean-Philippe Gbamin can play at centre back but he has been brought in as the possible successor to Idrissa Gueye. Either way, the player is currently out injured which highlights the need for another player in the defensive position.

Rojo’s experience and versatility could make him a good addition to the Everton backline.

Wolves

Another club aiming to breach the top 6, Wolves will need a strong squad this season as they will be competing in the Europa League as well. If the English club progress to the latter stages of the competition, they will need depth in their squad and a signing like Rojo will strengthen their squad in a big way.

Wolves have four first-team centre backs in Willy Boly, Conor Coady, Jesus Vallejo, and Ryan Bennett, but will probably need one more option as they play three at the back and an extra centre back could allow manager Nuno EspĂ­rito Santo to rotate his players as the ride gets bumpier.

Newcastle United

This may seem like an unlikely move, but Newcastle United have shown in the summer transfer window that they may have the transfer budget to sign new players. Rojo would fit very well in Newcastle’s 5-man defensive lineup, and with two centre backs beside him, his mistakes may not be costly, while his ball-playing skills could be fully utilised.

While there might be issues at Tyneside, the history and the footballing culture associated with the club will mean that the player will not be too averse to a move if something materialises in the coming months.

I have been surfing online more than 4 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like more. Its pretty worth enough for me.
