According to the , newly-promoted Wolves were interested in signing Rojo in the summer but were unable to land the Argentina star.

But with reports suggesting Rojo and Eric Bailly could be on the transfer list, the West Midlands club could go in again.

Nuno Espirito Santo's side have made a successful start to their Premier League season after their six-year absence from the top flight.

After 12 games they sit 11th, four points behind Manchester United and eight clear of the relegation zone but are without a win in four matches.

Wolves have kept four clean sheets in the Premier League with Santo tending to stick with a three-man defence this season made up of Ryan Bennett, Conor Coady and Willy Boly in front of goalkeeper Rui Patricio.

But the signing of Rojo would surely give them an added injection of experience and confidence.

The defender played in three of Argentina's matches at the World Cup, scoring the crucial winner against Nigeria.

This season has been blighted by a knee injury though.

He managed 54 minutes of a Manchester United Under-23s game against Reading in mid-September before aggravating the problem and has not played since.

He did make the matchday squad for the Manchester United game against Everton in October but did not come off the bench.

Jose Mourinho has opted for a centre-back pairing of Chris Smalling and Victor Lindelof for the last six matches.
