Manchester United have decided not to extend the contract of goalkeeper Sergio Romero and defender Marcos Rojo as the Argentine duo look set to leave Old Trafford.
The Red Devils’ boss, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made the revelation ahead of United’s FA Cup clash this weekend.
Romero wanted to leave the club in the summer transfer window but became unhappy after a deal couldn’t be agreed and he ended up staying at Old Trafford, according to Goal.
He has not been registered to play in any competitions this season and Rojo has made just one appearance for the Under-23s.
“Both of them have contracts until the summer and they’re not going to be extended,” Solskjaer said.
“So, we’re looking for them to find clubs, Marcos has been given time to go home, so he’s still in Argentina, Sergio has been back home as well to see his family but he’s back in England now.
“They’re professionals, they’re working hard and they’re ready if they are called in for us, they will be ready. Of course, Marcos will have to travel and do the quarantine before.”
Odion Ighalo will also be leaving Old Trafford when his loan deal expires at the end of January. Hopefully, the striker could be in action for the Red Devils in a FA Cup clash against his former team Watford on Saturday.
“It is special for him against Watford, he will be involved, he’s in the squad,” Solskjaer confirmed.
“He has been training really well, I don’t know how many goals he scored today but he was the top scorer, by a mile in the round robin we just finished in training, so he’s not lost any of his sharpness or his quality. It’s been difficult for him to be out of the squad as many times because he did really well up until the summer.
“This season he’s not had as many opportunities but he has never let himself down as a professional and a human being. In training he always works hard, he has been a positive influence in the dressing room. Hopefully I don’t need to put him on when we need goals, but hopefully he can join in.”
