Having just changed managers, Real Madrid are planning to poach players from Manchester United.

Argentinian versatile defender Marcos Rojo has surprisingly become a target for Real Madrid in the 2016 winter transfer window.

Real Madrid are considering signing Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo.

This could be considered a surprising transfer, but its feasibility is by no means insignificant. Over the past season since arriving at Old Trafford from Portugal, Marcos Rojo has never fully won the trust of Louis Van Gaal, as the Dutch manager prefers Daley Blind and Luke Shaw over the left-back position.

More importantly, the teacher-student relationship between the two is rumored to be strained, stemming from Van Gaal's intention to use Rojo as a "scapegoat" during the summer transfer window. Rojo also displeased Van Gaal by missing Manchester United's pre-season tour due to a ridiculously absurd reason: losing his passport.

During the season, Rojo only started to be used again, albeit reluctantly, when Luke Shaw suffered a terrible injury. But after just 11 games, the Argentinian star also followed his English teammate to the infirmary with a dislocated shoulder. Instead of showing sympathy, Van Gaal criticized Rojo for previously concealing his fitness level, leading to a headache regarding squad availability.

Conflict with Van Gaal is gradually pushing Rojo away from Old Trafford, and this is an opportunity for Real Madrid. Manchester United will certainly demand no less than £16 million, a figure slightly higher than the 26-year-old defender's actual value, but it's what the Red Devils paid to bring him from Sporting Lisbon not long ago. However, money has never been an issue for the Spanish royal club, especially considering they only have Marcelo left to play on the left flank and desperately need reinforcements to salvage this season which is on the verge of failure.
