Valencia are preparing a move for Marcos Rojo

Rojo is seen by the La Liga outfit as the ideal man to help bolster their defence with the expected departure of Shkodran Mustafi to Arsenal over the coming days.

Valencia owner Peter Lim, who is business partners with United legends such as the Gary and Phil Neville, Nicky Butt, Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs, has a good relationship with the north west club.

And according to Spanish publication Deporte Valenciano, this will help him complete a £10.26million for the versatile 26-year-old.

Rojo only joined the Red Devils two years ago after several impressive displays at the 2014 World Cup.

Despite being hampered by injuries during his time at Old Trafford, he has still made 53 appearances for the club, but is unlikely to make any more under Mourinho.
