Brilliant performance. He didn't deserve to be on the losing side.
@Witchking my man delivers again
Pretty sure Ibra's injury was more severe, hence the longer time frame originally anticipated for Ibra.I know ibra gets a lot of plaudits and rightfully so..but rojo returned in the same time frame as well and played a full 90 mins with some really good defending and some great forward passes as well. Really happy for the lad.
His transformation has been remarkable. Remember everyone wanting him sold last summer. I think he is a truly top class centre-back now and he will prove it again this season.
I don't really know since there was no actual report on the severity of their respective injuries. The general consensus on here is that an ACL injury usually takes about 9 months. Ofcourse Zlatan being well into his 30's means a 7 months recovery time is phenomenal. But I admire Rojo as well. To comeback and play as well as he did and even sustain it for 90 mins is really impressive.Pretty sure Ibra's injury was more severe, hence the longer time frame originally anticipated for Ibra.

How Rojo plays for united now and how he played then is so different... having him on our side shows that united have depth in the defense.
According to Di Marzio and Duncan Castles, Ibrahimovic tore both his ACL and PCL. In Rojo's case, I think it was just the ACL. Obviously a torn ACL is a massive injury regardless, and it's good to see Rojo back because I think on form, he's our best CB.I don't really know since there was no actual report on the severity of their respective injuries.

Just like with Pogba, it makes me think that both of them were fit for a while but the club waited for their fitness to reach 120% before playing them. If it also made them avoid the recent international friendlies, all the more beI don't really know since there was no actual report on the severity of their respective injuries.

Cheers for that info. Even today, I read a report where Zlatan said his ACL injury was even more complicated than what it seemed. So yeah, it's just great to have both back.According to Di Marzio and Duncan Castles, Ibrahimovic tore both his ACL and PCL. In Rojo's case, I think it was just the ACL.

Except for Lindelof...Don't know who our best CB is anymore they all have their days when they're brilliant.
