Revealed: The Manchester United double swoop that failed on deadline day
MARCOS ROJO rejected the chance to join Monaco on deadline day, according to reports.
Marcos Rojo Player Profile
The Daily Star suggest the Argentina international was offered as a makeweight in the deal for Anthony Martial.
It's understood a move had been on the cards for the 25-year-old who had struggled to get a decent run in the starting XI at United last season.
He told ESPN: "I have received offers but my idea is to stay here and fight for a position because it is a great club."
However, the centre-back ultimately turned down the opportunity to join the Ligue 1 side, with United completing the deal without him.
Marcos Rojo was part of a swap-deal for Anthony Martial
Monaco were also believed to have been interested in Javier Hernandez as part of the deal for Martial.
But, again this didn't materialise, with the Mexico international joining Bundesliga giants Bayer Leverkusen instead.
