Bit of a humdinger, do we want him straight back in or do we stick with RoJones?

With the amount of matches we’ve got, can’t see how having our best (based on the start of the season) CB back as early as possible would be seen as negative.
 
I'm not saying it's a negative by any means, just that it's a tough decision for the manager. Who drops out?

But it's a positive "problem" to have. We're the only English club playing in four different comps, so we'll need every player, especially one of our best. Jones might get injured and Rojo's good run might not last the whole season.
 
Morocco got the lead. 1-0 68min. Eric Bailly is already on his way back to Manchester. Sorry for CIV but its better for United. Wanna see Bailly and Rojo in a partnership, I think it would be very very good.
 
Imagine the bastardness when we play Rojo and Bailly together. 2 footers everywhere!

 
Welcome Back Beast !!!

Now him going back in the centre of defence and Rojo moving to left back, problem solved !

No no no no. Rojo is shite at Left Back. He's only good at CB. When will people learn.
 
He's out. So he'll probably play against Hull at home in the league.

Rojo in form is decent there, denfensively solid, good aggression, decent cross and heigth at the set pieces, lots of energy and good pace.. marginal improvement on Blind who'd be my second choice, Darmian is just shit

We've seen rojo play shit there in the dark days in a possession football, the more aggressive we play the better he is and we like to press higher and overall the team plays better, wouldnt mind him there while Shaw is out..
 
Can't wait for him to play again, such an exciting player!

Also get a great giggle out of him making shit of a player with pure beast strength.
 
Won't lie I'm delighted he's back. Unlucky for Ivory Coast, but having Bailly back is a big boost for us.
 
Welcome back Eric. :)

Another fit and healthy (arguably our best) CB to add to our collection. Will do our top-four hopes no harm at all.
 
Really can't wait to see Bailly - Rojo
 
Delighted he's back for us. Great interception and pass in that clip. It was only after re-watching it did I notice him bulldoze the other player :lol:
 
I'd let him miss our next game and just give him a bit of a rest, tournaments usually take a bit out of players. Bring him back for the Hull league game or Leicester.

Agree. And no matter how happy I've been with the result tonight, I can't ignore how crap the CIV players must be feeling. Even mentally it could be a good idea to have a few days off and forget about football - then come back with batteries re-loaded.

I bet you Mourinho's going to have a dig at the CIV manager in the next press conference. He wasn't pleased at all with their strictness and not allowing Bailly to play a game one day before going to meet them.
