The Red Devils are not expected to make any more additions to their squad on the deadline day but departures are still likely.

Marcos Rojo and Teden Mengi are set to part ways with Manchester United before the transfer market slams shut on Monday, as per The Mirror.

Rojo has lost favor under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and is expected to return to his native Argentina and join forces with Boca Juniors.

The 30-year-old made just one Premier League start in the previous campaign and spent the second half of 2019-20 on loan at Estudiantes and is yet to make a single appearance for the club this season.

The transfer window in Argentina is open until February 19th and therefore it is possible that Rojo’s move happens after Monday.

Mengi, meanwhile, is expected to complete a loan switch to Championship side Derby County for the rest of the season.

The 18-year-old center-back made his senior debut as a substitute in a Europa League match last season and earned a promotion to the first-team this season.
