Everton and Wolves were both linked with Marcos Rojo in the summer.

Manchester United are prepared to sell Marcos Rojo in January, reports The Telegraph.

Rojo’s potential availability should alert Wolves, who were interested in the defender in the summer.

The Mirror reported in the summer that Everton and Wolves were both keen in the Argentina international.

Rojo was said to be valued by United at £30 million, a price tag which is twice the defender’s true worth.

Injury has prevented Rojo from playing this season, although he has recently featured on United’s bench.

Everton no longer have any need for Rojo, after signing Yerry Mina for £27 million and signing Kurt Zouma on loan from Chelsea.

Wolves’ defence has also been strong, although their recruitment was not as heavy defensively in the summer.

Nuno Santo’s side have a strong chance of landing Rojo, who can only be encouraged by the newly promoted team’s start to life in the Premier League.

United’s asking price will have to drop. If it does then Rojo can be a smart addition.
