Manchester United have rejected an undisclosed offer from Spanish side Sevilla for Argentinian defender Marcos Rojo, according to Tancredi Palmeri.

Rojo started 20 games for United in an injury-hit 2015/16 season under Louis Van Gaal, but may struggle to earn a place in the starting XI this year due to the signing of Eric Bailly and the return from injury of Luke Shaw.
United forked out €20 million for the Argentinian international in 2014 and are likely to seek a large chunk of this fee back in order to offload the defender.
Rojo had been linked with a move to Villarreal in the past few days, as they look to fill the gap left by Bailly’s move to United.
Following a disappointing Copa America final defeat to Chile, Rojo is back with the United squad as they jet off to begin their pre-season tour in China.
