Estudiantes remain hopeful of permanent deal for Man Utd defender Rojo

Estudiantes haven't dropped plans to sign permanently Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo.

Ole says Rojo rejoined his former club on loan in January, only for the 2019/20 season to get curtailed after just 23 games and eventually suspended for good.

However, Estudiantes are still keen on a permanent switch.

Former United midfielder Juan Sebastian Veron is president of Estudiantes, and he has reportedly encouraged Rojo's agent to speak to the English club with a view to bringing down the Reds' £10million asking price.

United are believed to be keen to get the defender off their books, but the transfer fee could be a sticking point.
