Report: Zenit want Marcos Rojo

Russian club Zenit St Petersburg have reportedly made Manchester United centre-back Marcos Rojo one of their major January transfer targets.

The 25-year-old has been at Old Trafford since 2014 following his £16m switch from Sporting Lisbon.

However, it is believed that the Argentina international has fallen out of favour with manager Louis van Gaal following his failure to report for the club's recent pre-season tour of the USA because of passport complications.

As a result, The Mirror have claimed that Van Gaal is prepared to listen to Zenit's offer for the defender.

Rojo had an 18-month spell in Russia with Spartak Moscow between December 2010 and the summer of 2012.
