No idea but wouldn't put it past Van Gaal to have taken the huff with him for a while.

Rojo's face in the new Fifa
Can't breathe
Can't breathe
In last years kit?
Who is Marcos Rojo? 
Beta version
I wonder how he's going to respond to playing second fiddle to Blind
At this point he is cover for Blind and Shaw. He will need to make a step up from his previous level if he is going to oust them.
I suspect he'll get back into the team once van Gaal deems him fit enough to play
Over Blind? Im sorry but I don't think that will happen considering how well Blind has started with Smalling. It wouldn't be right or fair in all honesty
Don't think he'll kick up too much of a fuss. He'll still get plenty of games, as he can cover both, LCB and LB.
Did he travel to Brugge?

What the feck is going on with him?
Played 60 minutes against Ajax in midweek.
Starts for the Argos tonight.. Hopefully he's full fit and trained now ´cause we really need him to step up.
Considering how badly Blind has played at international duty (well the whole Dutch team played badly except Memphis), Rojo is just one 'Blind mistake for us' away from getting into the side. Some tough games coming up for Blind and if he fails, I hope Rojo can step up and take his place. He can be a good foil for Smalling and can really learn a thing or two from him.
Starts for Argentina
Wondering what reason will be this time for not coming back to England on time.
I liked him last season in the Centre but he was poor at LB.
I rate him above Jones actually. I don't think we need another CB at all. It will be interesting to see how he kicks on on his second season for us. I have high hopes.

He is in a very bad position, now that it seems we found our back four, it will be very complicated for him to play regularly.
Right now yes, but it would have to take the miracle of Smalling not getting injured all season to stop him getting back in the side.
PSV 2:1 Man Utd
Did Blind point towards Rojo to mark Narsingh for the 2nd goal?
It looked like Rojo's fault positionally to me.
I knew before the cross arrived that he was in a bad position.
What was blind doing?
It's a communication issue no doubt. I'm pretty sure Rojo looks slightly over his shoulder and expects Blind to take care of Narsingh.
I think he's an awful player although I guess this being is first game is a good excuse. Where the feck is Jones?
If LVG keeps him in the team once Jones comes back for the Right foot left foot thing, i'd be mighty pissed.
His first game though. Now that he gets some games, we can see how good he is now
Came on in difficult circumstances with very little playing time under his belt, I was actually surprised he didn't go to LB. He started off with a couple of nervy passes but I thought he played ok as the game went on.
Not going to fully blame him. I do think making him CB instead of LB was a bit of a crazy decision. We didnt need that interruption imo as it ruins communication which is what happened in the end.
It makes no sense that he didn't come on at LB... bizarre decision.
He looked very rusty.
Ye goal wasn't his fault. Sloppy play from Darmian and it's an excellent cross. Blind could possibly have been closer but we got caught on the back foot and had little time to react.
Thought he played fine and glad we have him now Shaw's out.

I felt it was a solid enough performance from Rojo on his sudden return.
Oh look at that, people are out to blame him already. This was his first game in the first team since last season!
The goal was lost because Darmian gave it away and the cross was amazing. The guy who crossed it couldn't have crossed it any better.

Can't blame him at all really. He did fine for his first game back in ages.
I expect him to start more games at CB now, unless Jones becomes fit. He's clearly not a terrible player, he looked great for Argentina, so I'm hoping to see him improve with us.

On that particular play, Blind already made the call to Rojo and asked him to cover the man first. The fact that Rojo completely ignored the warning makes him as guilty as Darmian (if not more) for allowing that play to unfold. All that was asked from him was to do the right little things rather than trying to go for a Hollywood clearance that nobody gives a shit about. My feelings towards Rojo after tonight can be summed up by Alec Baldwin's reaction here (language included):
Rojo was at fault.
He saw that Blind was beaten by the attacker so should have ran towards the back post and attacked the ball from there. Instead he went towards the front post and got caught under the ball.

There was a guy behind Rojo too. If for example the cross is shorter and Rojo goes back post, that guy has a free header and probably scores too. I think Rojo tried to be in the most optimum position to defend the ball i.e where he could deal with both players running in - He got done by the cross. This happens to the best of them! Rio thought he had Messi covered in Rome. Only for Xavis cross to be inch perfect and delete him from the equation.On that particular play, Blind already made the call to Rojo and asked him to cover the man first.

Had a decent game, all things considered.
