However, United have the option have the option to extend Rojo's contract and are reluctant to let him leave for free.

Rojo is eager to push a deal through - having not made a senior appearance for the Red Devils since November 2019 due to injury and a loan spell at boyhood club Estudiantes.

Despite his limited pitch time at United Boca Juniors' vice president Juan Roman Riquelme is looking to close a deal for Rojo - who has earned up 61 caps and played in the 2014 World Cup final.
