Lionel Messi now wants Inter Miami to sign ex-Man Utd defender

Supporters of Manchester United may potentially witness Marcos Rojo team up with Lionel Messi

as a transfer to Inter Miami gets closer to happening.

Under Louis van Gaal, United’s first-season performance was uneven.

Angel Di Maria only spent a year at Old Trafford despite arriving with a large sum and high hopes.

After leaving United more than five years ago,

Daley Blind is now being compared to Paolo Maldini,

and Ander Herrera has grown to be a fan favourite.

Luke Shaw is also still going strong at Old Trafford.

Then there is Marcos Rojo,

who moved from Sporting for £16 million and went on to

become something of a cult figure at Old Trafford.

Just weeks before Rojo’s arrival,

United supporters had seen him attempt a rabona clearance

during the World Cup, so they knew to expect the unexpected from him.

Rojo played more than 100 times for United,

demonstrating both brilliance and ridiculousness,

although he never made more than 22 league appearances in a season.

Inter Miami is looking for Marcos Rojo.

After leaving United in 2021 to join Boca Juniors,

Rojo sustained a serious knee injury in 2022.

Rojo’s injury problems have not abated; in November,

he was unable to participate in the Copa Libertadores final due to a calf injury.

Rojo, who is 33, may be moving again,

and this time it would be a significant one.

According to Argentine journalist Hernan Castillo,

Rojo has been contacted by Inter Miami manager Gerardo Martino and

star player Lionel Messi in an attempt to get him to play in Major League Soccer.

Although Palmeiras of Brazil are also interested,

Rojo would find it quite alluring to team up with Messi.

After Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets, and Luis Suarez,

Rojo may be the most recent of Messi’s pals to sign with Inter Miami.

Messi and Rojo are well acquainted from their time together on the Argentine national team.

Inter Miami has linked several former United players, including Rojo.

Given that David Beckham owns a portion of Inter Miami,

United supporters might be interested in the team.

There have been ties between United and the Major League Soccer team since Phil Neville,

a former United defender, managed Inter Miami for more than two years.

In November, Beckham was even tipped to sign former United custodian

David De Gea in the hopes of luring him to Florida.

At Inter Miami, where Messi eventually holds the ultimate say,

Rojo suddenly appears to be a more likely signing.

The seasoned defender has a lot on his plate right now,

but nothing Palmeiras can do will compare to partnering with Messi once more before they retire.
