Report: Newcastle United keen on January loan move for Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo

According to The Athletic, Newcastle United are keen on bringing Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo to St. James’ Park next month on loan till the rest of the 2020-21 campaign.

The 30-year-old has struggled to make manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s first-team at Old Trafford this term, with his last appearance coming in an under-23s fixture against Everton in October.

Magpies head coach Steve Bruce wants to strengthen his defence when the January transfer window opens, and Rojo’s versatility has attracted him.

The Argentina international can play as a left-back and centre-back, and Newcastle are keen to sign him as a result.
