Marcos Rojo snubbed chance to join Monaco as part of the Anthony Martial deal
Posted Sunday, September 06, 2015 by Dailystar.co.uk
MARCOS ROJO knocked back the chance to join Monaco as a makeweight in the deal for Anthony Martial.
Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal was willing to listen to offers after growing frustrated with the Argentine defender over the summer.
Rojo, 25 failed to turn up on schedule for United's pre-season tour because of a problem over his passport.
REJECTED: Rojo didn't want to join Monaco
Since then Van Gaal has used midfielder Daley Blind at centre-back.
Marseille and Valencia also enquired about Rojo but the defender wants to prove himself to LVG and will hold talks with the United boss after the international break.
Monaco also discussed striker Javier Hernandez in the £58m deal for Martial but he had already agreed to join Bayer Leverkusen.
The principality club wanted Hernandez PLUS £58m for Martial.
