Everton have expressed an interest in Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo but his wage demands could derail the deal even though Jose Mourinho wants to make room in his squad for a new centre back.
Rojo, who earns more than £120,000-a-week, has not linked up with the rest of the United squad in the USA even though Argentina were knocked out of the World Cup in the Round of 16 more than three weeks ago.
The defender has been told he can leave Old Trafford, despite only signing a new contract in March this year. United would be willing to sell a player they bought for £16m from Sporting Lisbon four years ago if they receive a bid in excess of £20m.
Wolverhampton Wanderers also briefly showed an interest in the 28-year-old, but were informed he was not interested in joining the new promoted Premier League club.
Worryingly for United, their chances of signing first choice defensive target Harry Maguire are rapidly fading. The England international has been offered a new contract by Leicester City and, having already sold Riyad Mahrez to Manchester City this summer, the Midlands club simply do not want to lose another of their key players before the start of the season.
That would appear to leave two alternatives, with Barcelona defender Yerry Mina the more likely arrival. The Colombian was superb for his country at the World Cup, scoring his side’s equaliser against England in the Round of 16.
At the age of 23, he would also be the preferred option of the United board because of his potential resale value and Barcelona are understood to be willing to let him leave.
United, though, have not completely discarded the idea of signing Toby Alderweireld from Tottenham Hotspur and the London club ae more receptive to the idea of letting him move to Manchester than they were earlier in the window.

Highly suspect
whoever is editing Rojo's wiki messed up the formatting, is that you Danny?
Rojo is super Aids bad.

If these Mina/Rojo rumours are true.
£30m to Man Utd, which is Mina’s fee.
What are we playing at? We are a bunch of wets.

I was just trying to see if he plays CB and DM so we can punt two players with one incoming, looking for the (+) positives, ya know. I'm thinking about turning over a new leaf.
