DONE DEAL: Boca Juniors sign Man Utd defender Rojo

Boca Juniors have signed Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo.

The Manchester Evening News reports Rojo has completed his transfer from United to join Boca Juniors.

The centre-back has completed a medical with the Buenos Aires side, with the two clubs agreeing a free transfer, after Rojo had been made surplus to requirements at Old Trafford.

United agreed to terminate Rojo's contract early, from its original June 2021 expiry, allowing the 30-year-old to join the Argentine giants on a three-year deal.

The Argentinian international brings to an end a six-and-a-half year stint at Old Trafford in which he made 123 appearances, including 64 league starts and scored two goals. His final appearance for the club was in the 3-1 win over Brighton at Old Trafford in November 2019 and he was not registered for this season's league campaign.
