According to Sky Sports News, Rojo was at Manchester United's Carrington training ground earlier to discuss an exit.

United's acquisition of Harry Maguire from Leicester City for £85 million has pushed Rojo further down the pecking order at Old Trafford.

Everton are keen to sign a central defender following the news that last year's loanee Kurt Zouma will be staying at Chelsea at Frank Lampard's request.

The Argentine is thought to be looking for regular first-team football, and Everton are reportedly willing to offer him that.

Rojo has two years left on his current Manchester United contract, with an optional third that can be activated.
