Man Utd Planning to Keep Marcos Rojo in January Despite Nearly Leaving for Everton

Manchester United have no intention of parting ways with defender Marcos Rojo in January, even though he came close to joining Everton in the summer.

The Argentine looked destined to be heading to Goodison Park in the final stages of the summer transfer window, only for the move to be called off at the last minute.

The 29-year-old has since returned into United's first-team fold, ably deputising at left back for the injured Luke Shaw. He has also appeared in central defence when United have played three centre halves, but has been unable to dislodge £80m summer signing Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof in order to become a regular starter.
