He's the softest hard man I've ever seen... He's neither a decent footballer nor an enforcer.
Brutal, yet keeps getting picked & keeps lasting 90mins. Would be baffling if we didn't have such a completely clueless manager.

Just bizarre given van Gaal's propensity for replacing full backs.

I think he's the worst defender I've ever seen play for us. Continues to astound with his performances and I don't even think he's Championship quality. Pick any random shit club in the prem and I'd take their left back over this numpty.

My mate who's an Arsenal fan said tonight, it was making him angry seeing someone as bad as Rojo in the number 5 shirt for United, which says a lot.

Looked like he could be a decent squad player for us when he first started but towards the end of this season he has been a walking disaster no matter where they play him in defence.
I don't think I could ever be comfortable watching one of our games with him at the back.

Hes not a United player. Hes not a good CB, hes an even worse LB. His crossing ability is terrible. And as a LB he cant drive us forward. And he cant even defend.

Said it after the last game, but I seriously dont know what his attributes are.

We play like we've still got Evra in the team, shifting the ball wide to valencia 1 side, then switching back to Rojo who is all by himself with all the time in the world to do something.

He then proceeds to offer no ability to take a man on, and puts in some of the most pointless crosses I've ever seen. He never whips them in with pace or keeps them low, he delicately dinks them high up into the air for the keeper to easily grab. He is massively frustrating.

I don't get how every player gets benched as soon as they make a single mistake, and yet Rojo keeps on getting picked and rarely subbed. It's like he has the same undroppable status in the squad as Rooney, or something.

waste of time and money, rather give chance to CBJ and Joe Riley than waste time on him

I can't defend him. Usually I find something to support a United player about, but he's giving me nothing to work with here.

Hate him! Absolutely hate him!

A disgrace to Patrice and Denis!
The least you can do after a defeat is go over to the fans, ffs. He'll surely leave in the summer. Barca were linked to him again just last month... here's hoping.

What, feck off?! Barcelona?! :lol::lol: Him over Jordi Alba?! How much have you drank? :D
It would be funny to see him there. :lol: I said it in jest, but weirdly he was linked to them last summer and again last month. If it's, shockingly, true that they want him then their scout must be Andrea Bocelli.

Seriously he put in some promising performances last year and one this year against Man City. What has happened to all of our players? We actually started the season well...and look at us. Can't wait for Shaw to come back.

My God, I sound like an Arsenal fan.

This

Heinze, Veron, Di Maria, Tevez, Rojo, Romero...they've either flopped or pissed off the fans. Such a poor record.
Romero haven't had enough time or impact to say flopped though.

But I agree with the rest. We don't seem to have any luck with them. And I think even SAF said or hinted that he would never sign one again back then.

Is every player bought to be in the starting lineup?
OK.....So Barcelona, are going to spend money, to put this clown on the bench?

I understand there is natural reflex to defend United players but, it's absolutely laughable to suggest he could be a part of a modern day Barcelona squad

He's simply not that good a player. He's had some good moments here and there, but they've been way too few and far between. On current form, he's quite a liability. Every game he seems to make fundamental errors that result in chances, if not goals, against. De Gea must find it so frustrating watching Rojo play in that back four. His positional awareness and discipline is shocking at times. At best, a squad player.

If that is true he can just leave now. His footballing skill has been non evident and his footballing brain is even worse. I originally thought he was a good guy and passionate footballer - but that's gone too. I can't believe we went through all that fuss to sign a player like him.

16 million, plus Nani on loan and we paid Nani's wages.........

He can fill the left footed CB who never plays role currently filled by Vermaelen. Although Vermaelen with whatever his latest injury is, is still better than Rojo.

Which makes it (random guess) a combined fee of like 22m for Rojo. 22m for a player like Rojo - just because he was left footed.

Im not sure if he was ever good enough, at least not after the left backs we've had at United, but when pretty much all the squad turns to shit, i'd say the management is to blame.

He's a big guy but he gets beat for everything. Plays at LB and he doesn't know what to do with the ball, yet he plays every game. Tells you all you need to know about the club
