Manchester United have officially signed the young, 24 year old,
Argentinian defender Marcos Rojo on a five year contract for £16 million, plus a season long loan for Nani going the other way back to
Sporting Lisbon, his old club.
We had the pleasure of watching his brilliant potential at the World Cup 2014 playing with Argentina as he helped them to the final and earlier in the competition he scored against Nigeria in their 3-2 win.
Manchester United will have to pay £4.8 million pounds in total for Nani's wages .
Rojo will wear the number 5 shirt which the Manchester United Legend
Rio Ferdinand wore before his recent moved to
QPR.
