Marcos Rojo confirms Man Utd deal
Marcos Rojo looks set to complete his €20m move to Manchester United from Sporting Lisbon.
The defender confirmed that he is to join Louis van Gaal's side in an interview with Argentinian radio Continental.
“It feels like a dream, to be a Manchester United player. Leaving Sporting wasn’t easy,” he said.
The 24-year-old added that he had spoken to former United midfielder Juan Sebastian Veron about the club when they were team-mates: “He told me about them when we played for Estudiantes.”
It has been claimed that the World Cup star will sign a four-year contract, with the option of extending the deal for a further year with Nani heading the other way.
The deal could be completed as soon as tomorrow with Rojo expected to fly into Manchester later today to complete his medical.
Rojo apologised to Sporting Lisbon on Sunday evening after refusing to train in an effort to push through the move to United.
“I was hot-headed and I’m sorry. I’ll be back with the rest of the squad tomorrow,” he said.
“Sporting signed me when I was not at my best and gave me the opportunity to play for a big club in Europe. I would like to thank the trust they had in me and I will resume training on Monday.”
Van Gaal was in the market for a left-sided defender to bolster his 3-5-2 system given the three recognised centre-backs in his squad, Phil Jones, Chris Smalling and Jonny Evans, are all predominately right-sided.

Swansea shock Man Utd in Premier League Opener
Swansea City beat Manchester United 2-1 in Van Gaal's debut as club Incharge
Manchester United's Premier League campaign under Louis Van Gaal got off to a false start on Saturday as Swansea City stun them 2-1 in the season's opening at Old Trafford.
South Korea midfielder Ki Sung-yueng exploited inattentive marking to give Swansea a 1-0 lead in the 28th-minute with a left-foot shot from the edge of the box.
Newly appointed captain Wayne Rooney equalized early in the second half, but Gylfi Sigurdsson set up an upset victory for Swansea in the 72nd minute with a close-range finish.
This is the 2nd of Swansea's back-to-back wins at Old Trafford, following their shock FA Cup win in January.
Injuries to key players forced Van Gaal to give competitive debuts to Tyler Blackett, 20, and 21-year-old Jesse Lingard.
Lingard lasted only 24 minutes as he was forced off after appearing to jar his knee in a challenge with Swansea captain Ashley Williams.
United dominated possession in the first half, but Swansea struck from their first sight of goal, with Ki stroking home a lay-off from Sigurdsson.
Swansea's fans burst into a chorus of 'You're getting sacked in the morning!' aimed at Van Gaal, who sat impassively in his seat in the dug-out.

Man Utd closing in on Arsenal's Thomas Vermaelen
Manchester United are favourites to bag Arsenal defender Thomas Vermaelen, reports suggesting that they will outbid Barca.
The Catalan Club offered £10million for the Arsenal captain this week.
The Daily Mail reports that Manchester United are set to outbid them with a £15million offer after Barcelona looked set to land the player.
Arsenal would be selling to Manchester United for the sake of extra cash, since they'll have to splash out some bucks for replacement, though they would have preferred selling him abroad.
United are confident of signing Thomas Vermaelen this summer after giving up trying to secure Borussia Dortmund & Germany's World Cup winning star Mats Hummels.

Man Utd rally to beat Liverpool, win International Champions Cup
Van Gaal wins first Silverware as Man Utd Manager
Manchester United fly home on Tuesday having been unbeaten in their 5-game tour to America under the new Manager Louis Van Gaal.
It was rather a "friendly" match but still the final of International Cup. Liverpool put their best foot forward in the first half that saw Raheem Sterling's dynamic & twisting runs early on, who was brought down by Phil Jones with Gerrard converting the penalty.
This was Gerrard's 10th goal against Manchester United, the most by any player against them.
Rooney scored the equalizer for United in the 2nd-half with a nice little finish early on while Juan Mata deflected one to put his side ahead.
There seemed to be some sort of confusion in the 2nd-half, Rooney slotted home after the ball seemed to hit the crossbar
The goal was awarded initially, but replays showed clearly that the ball hit the stanchion and was out of play. And thus, the goal was ruled out by the refree as per the instructions given by the linesman.
Jesse Lingard rounded off the triumph with a fine finish late on to make the score 3-1.
