5 Manchester United Transfers that could still happen before Transfer Deadline Day

#4 Marcos Rojo to Everton

Nigeria v Argentina: Group D - 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia — Everton are interested in Rojo

Even though Argentina were eliminated at the Round of Sixteen in the World Cup, Marcos Rojo has not yet joined with the Manchester United Squad, fuelling rumours that the Argentine defender has his heart set on leaving United.

Everton has surfaced as an unlikely destination for the Argentine since then, but Metro has reported that PSG has joined the race, making things interesting ahead of the Transfer Deadline Day. Mourinho has given the green signal to offload the defender, as he looks to bolster his defence with new signings.

Everton are desperate for a defender and have earmarked Smalling or even Lindelof as backup plans if the Rojo transfer doesn’t go through. Expect this saga to stretch to the last day of the window.

Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two.

He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.

Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.

Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
