SHEFFIELD UNITED have reportedly identified Manchester United outcast Marcos Rojo as a possible January signing.
The 30-year-old will be available in a cut-price deal with the centre-back in the final year of his contract at Old Trafford.
And the Red Devils will be keen to sell him with the player yet to feature this season – despite him being named in the club’s Premier League squad.
Along with Rojo, United are also desperate to offload the likes of Phil Jones, Sergio Romero and Timothy Fosu-Mensah.
According to the Daily Mail, Sheffield United are keen to revive their interest in the Argentine defender in the New Year.
The Blades were interested in the ex-Sporting Lisbon man in the summer, but the move failed to materialise.
However the club are desperate for new signings as they sit rooted to the bottom of the table after 11 games played.
It has been stated that the basement boys are looking at structuring a package for Rojo as they try and tempt him to move to Bramall Lane.
However his £80,000-a-week wages could prove to be a stumbling block for the South Yorkshire outfit.
There is still the question as to whether Rojo will want to join a club that are in a relegation battle.
Should they fail in their attempts to sign Rojo, then Chris Wilder’s men will turn to Preston North End’s Ben Davies.
It is understood that the Championship side will want at least £10million for the 25-year-old.
Scottish club Celtic are also believed to be keen on Davies having sent scouts to watch him in action.
