Manchester United have finally confirmed the signing of Marcos Rojo from Sporting Lisbon

Manchester United have confirmed they have signed Sporting Lisbon defender Marcos Rojo for a fee of £16million.

Rojo, who touched down in Manchester on Tuesday evening and said joining United 'feels like a dream', has signed a five-year contract after passing a medical and agreeing personal terms.

Louis van Gaal made it a priority to sign a left-footed defender and stepped up his pursuit of Rojo, 24, following Saturday's shock home defeat by Swansea. The Argentine will wear the No 5 shirt.
