Man Utd’s Bruno Fernandes transfer held up by Marcos Rojo future as Fenerbahce join race for defender


BRUNO FERNANDES’ Manchester United move has reportedly been delayed by late interest from Fenerbahce in Marcos Rojo.

United are hoping to complete a £60million deal for Sporting Lisbon star Fernandes this week.

And part of the agreement could see Argentine centre-back Rojo return to Lisbon after he was frozen out by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Rojo has made just three Premier League appearances this season.

However, Nicolo Schira claims Turkish giants Fenerbahce have thrown their hat in the ring for Rojo.



They can apparently match the defender’s £80,000-a-week wages, which Sporting can’t meet in full.

And should Rojo opt for a move to the Super Lig, United will be forced back to the negotiating table over Fernandes.

Solskjaer hopes the attacking midfielder can help his side seal a top four finish this season.

But he has other targets in mind should a move not go through.

Ajax ace Donny van de Beek is believed to be on United’s radar after admitting he was happy to be linked with a Premier League switch.

Solskjaer is also interested in West Ham anchorman Declan Rice and sent a top scout to watch the England international in action during last week’s 1-0 defeat to Sheffield United.
