Marcus Rojo could be on his way to La Liga, with the Daily Mail reporting the Manchester United defender is the subject of interest from Villarreal.
The Yellow Submarine need to bring in defensive cover, ironically to replace Eric Bailly, who recently joined United in a £30million deal.
With AC Milan considering a swoop for Mateo Musacchio, Villarreal’s need is urgent, but they are hesitating over Rojo because of his wage demands.
Sadly, Rojo represents a new generation of Manchester United player.
Luke Shaw’s return at left-back is going to make it very difficult for the Argentine international to fight his way back into the first team, and he will almost inevitably join a long list of Red Devils over the past few years who haven’t made the grade.
Under Sir Alex Ferguson, player departures seemed more subtle, with far fewer deemed a failure.
Louis van Gaal’s inept signings have changed that and Jose Mourinho now has little choice but to offload them.
