Manchester United are braced for two imminent outgoings after agreeing to terminate Marcos Rojo's contract and reaching a deal for youngster Facundo Pellistri to join La Liga side Alaves on loan for the rest of the season.

United have reached an agreement with Rojo for his contract to be terminated, meaning he will be a free agent at the end of the month.

 

"[It is] likely that Marcos goes back to Argentina, [there is] a little bit of paperwork left to be done, I think," United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said on Friday.

 

The 30-year-old centre-back, who originally joined in 2014, has been in Argentina since receiving treatment there for a calf injury and is close to joining Boca Juniors having been seen training with them this week.

Rojo has not featured for United in the current campaign and made a single Premier League start last season before spending the second part on loan at Estudiantes.
