Said this in the Rooney thread but they seem to be getting on well. I like that Rooney is helping him settle in.
 
Absolutely fantastic how he settles and behaves at the club. Hugging Rooney all the time, being one of the first for the celebrations, smiling when arriving at OT, smiling during the warm up, smiling after the game and running to give Januzaj a hug, wife and kid with his United shirt after the transfer....some dont care for these things, but i like what he shows on and off the field.

He's got his wife and kid wearing a United shirt? :D

Plus his likes / following United on Instagram which actually started all those rumours and then once his transfer was confirmed he started liking United kits with Di Maria, Blind and Vidal!!!
 
Seems like a very likeable guy and looks like he is actually over the moon to be at the club which is great to see. On the football side of things he has started well, Sunday will be a bigger test for him at LB but I have faith that he will overcome that, I would like to see him moved over into CB once Shaw is fit though
 
Rather than a traditional chant I would love to see an old Trafford game of Marco Polo, obviously rebranding it to Marcos Rojo.

So basically a few people yell "Marcos" and the rest of OT responds "Rojo"

I don't know why I think that's such a great idea...

Why "Marcus" ? :confused:
 
Slowly becoming my favourite player, although only being here for a short amount of time. He's the type of player that just looks like he loves every minute of being at United, which is always a plus.

Shaw will be fit for the weekend. I hope he switches to CB and lets Shaw make his debut. Though, one has to say that he has a very good understanding with Di Maria. Something Shaw can pick up in short time because clearly Shaw is the better LB and the boy has natural passing ability too. Rojo looks built to be a mobile, strong CB.
 
Give us Rojo back (watch Maribor´s equalizer and you will understand)
 
Strong in the air and comfortable with the ball at his feet, very good debut too mind. However its a different story playing LCB, I think he'll be fine but we'll never know until he plays. Shaw should be LB for me.
 
I'm still wondering about where LVG is going to play him most. Is he going to play CB or as a backup lb/rotating with shaw?

:nono: Leave our Rojo alone, we love him already! And don't be ungrateful, we gave you Nani and are paying his wages :)
 
You guys are such creeps.

Anyway, I reckon that he'll be a center back in the long run but for now he will get thrown into the LB spot here and there. I think he'll have achieved more than a few trophies by the time he leaves us. He'll be amazing.
 
No, I don't think so. The Sporting supporter @Sly said that he was probably their best defender last season and was consistently good. According to him, his only issue is getting too many cards due to rash tackles.
We need some of that, for a little while anyway. During the last few months you could never really notice any passion or enthusiasm in our play and tackles but against QPR the players were putting in some hard tackles. It was great to watch.

LVG has got balls big enough to start a twenty year old in central defence in the PL, he will definitely play Rojo at CB and the rest is dependent on whether he can make the role his own.
 
Really impressive athletically, bit of a nutter in the violent sense and being to aggressive to come win the ball. Hopefully he'll be like Pepe and his good games will make up for his bad ones.

He does seem like he'll be good at chasing down balls when we press high and force the other teams to play longer, more direct football.
 
I thought Rojo had a effective, but quiet, performance in his United debut. But that's exactly what you want to see from our defenders -- an effective and quiet performance.

With so much firepower up front I wouldn't expect to see Rojo launch forward very often.
