Valencia reportedly open talks with Manchester United over a possible £10.3m move for out-of-favour defender Marcos Rojo.

Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo is reportedly closing in on a move to Valencia.

The 26-year-old is expected to leave Old Trafford before the end of the transfer window as Jose Mourinho looks to trim his squad.

The Argentine, who has not featured in any of United's matches so far this season, is deemed surplus to requirements by the manager.

Deporte Valenciano reports that Valencia have opened talks with United over a possible €12m (£10.3m) deal, with the Spanish club's owner Peter Lim enjoying a good relationship with the Red Devils.

That would see United make a loss on the figure they paid for Rojo just two years ago, but the club are understood to be willing to take a financial hit in order to get him off their books.

Any move for Rojo to Valencia could also see Shkodran Mustafi complete his switch to Arsenal.
