Wolverhampton Wanderers could take advantage of Manchester United’s apparent need to sell.

Manchester United’s Marcos Rojo is wanted by Wolverhampton Wanderers, according to the Independent.

The newspaper reports Wolves are bidding to ‘push on with their lavish summer spending’ while United need to sell players to facilitate moves of their own.

The Red Devils paid £16 million to sign Rojo from Sporting Clube de Portugal four years ago, but the Argentine has struggled to full convince at Old Trafford.

It is therefore possible that he could be one of the centre-backs who makes way as United seek to strengthen in his position, with Toby Alderweireld and Harry Maguire both listed as targets by the Independent.

A move to Wolves would see Rojo reunited with Rui Patricio, his former colleague with whom he spent two years at Sporting.

The 27-year-old has past links to Jorge Mendes, the Portuguese agent involved in a number of Molineux deals, although it is unclear whether or not an association remains between the pair.

Would the Manchester United defender be a good addition for Wolves?
