As we all know, Jack O'Connell is one of the strongest players in Sheffield United's backline, but in the new season, he is unable to play due to injury. According to the latest reports from the British media, Sheffield United plans to bring in Manchester United's defender Rojo in the winter window to make up for Jack O'Connell's vacancy.
Manchester United plan to sell fringe player Rojo
The 30-year-old Rojo joined Manchester United six years ago for 20 million euros from Sporting Portugal, in the Premier League, Rojo also had an outstanding performance, but physical injuries seriously affected his development at Manchester United. In the winter window of last season, because it is difficult to get playing time in Manchester United, so finally chose to join the University of La Plata on loan. Since the end of his loan career, Rojo has not played for Manchester United in the new season, and he has been completely reduced to a marginal player in the team. It is reported that Rojo's contract with United will expire next summer, and United has been looking for a buyer for him during the summer window this year, but unfortunately, they finally had to choose to leave him behind.
Sheffield United want to sign Rojo on a waiver
Right now Sheffield United have their eye on Rojo, but they only want to bring him in on loan and not pay for him outright. If Rojo plays for Sheffield United on loan until the end of the season, then the player's contract will expire and he will be able to leave the team as a free agent and join other clubs, while United will not get a penny of income from it. Therefore, United would prefer to sell Rojo directly instead of loaning him out. The winter transfer window is the last chance for United to sell Rojo, and if they can't find a suitable home, they can only let the player leave as a free agent. Sheffield United intend to sign Rojo for free when the player's contract expires.
