Sheffield United are yet to receive assurances from the Manchester United hierarchy that either player will be available this month.

Solskjaer recently revealed the club are looking to sell Marcos Rojo and Sergio Romero this month, now they're in the final six months of their contracts.
"Both of them have contracts until the summer and they're not going to be extended," Solskjaer said. "We're looking for them to find clubs.
"Marcos has been given time to go home so he's still in Argentina. Sergio has been back home as well to see his family but he's back in England now.
"They are professionals, they are working hard. They are ready if they are called in for us. Of course, Marcos would have to travel and quarantine before [he plays for United]."
