Why United are ready to sell £20m-rated centre-back

English Premier League outfit Manchester United are short of quality defenders in the team but they are still in the business of putting some of their out-of-favour players in the transfer market for sale.

Later reports reveal that the Red Devils are ready to part ways with Marcos Rojo and have called on suitors to submit offers for his signature.

This development from the Old Trafford, according to report is as a result of the need by the new interim boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to rebuild the team as well as ensure that unnecessary players are made to leave the club.

Marcos Rojo is one of those players who has not been able to meet up with the competition at the club and has been relegated to the bench. There is, therefore, a need to free up space at the club.

The likes of Turkish topflight outfit Fenerbahce, Everton, and Southampton are all reported to be interested in the signature of the Argentina international central defender.

However, Marcos Rojo has got a contract running with the club until 2021 with a release clause of 320 million which must be met by the suitors if they must land him in this winter window.
