It's obvious that the journos don't realize that Rojo had an op last night, he'll be ready for Saturday.

God, so who to believe? Maybe we should send him to Wenger for some injury prognosis ...
i believe the player, the papers and journalists nowadays are just a total waste of time.
I don't rate him all that highly at the moment but to lose him for six months (or even 3 months) would be a disaster considering how fit our other CBs are. Really hope it is just the few matches.
I'm not sold on Rojo. He's not the proper solid centre back we need. Most people seem to not realise his injury was a result of yet another brain dead piece of defending from him.
So he's shit after he's played 5 games? He hasn't even had a full season yet, and you lot are writing him off as usual.
So much negativity about Rojo it is unbelievable. What exactly has the guy done wrong?
He hasn't really done anything major wrong (from what I can recall). He has just had a few moments where he looks a little uncomfortable and nervy. It's too early to make a judgement on him though. Far too early.
Agree. I remember making that mistake with Evra's first few appearance.
Not saying he is going to be as good as Evra was for us, but you can't judge at such an early stage.

I dont think anyone is writing him off. I too am not yet sold on him - he is decent, sure, but an actual, definite upgrade on what we already had (in terms of ability, not fitness)? Not so sure.
I would rather we had gone for experience in the summer and tried to get someone like Vlaar. Fitness, consistency and experience - someone that the likes of Jones and Smalling can play alongside and learn from.

Looking forward to LvG clearing up exactly how long he is out for at the presser tomorrow.
The defensive problems are still getting worse!!! unbelievable.
Good luck at the weekend Carrick

He didn't clear much up last week. Nothing regarding the timeframe of Falcao or the defenders if I recall.
I would imagine a couple of weeks to let the swelling and bruising go down.
If it was just the shoulder coming out of the joint it will be painful, but hopefully no lasting damage.

The hacks need to ask him, specifically. I can't recall Fergie doing into too much detail with regards to injuries unless asked either.
In normal circumstances I'd probably have plenty of reservations over what we've seen from Rojo so far but I've been slightly swayed by the thought of how bad things would've been if we hadn't signed him (or, worse, if we had signed Vermaelen instead).
Even if he doesn't prove to really be what we need he'll at least be a decent squad player, something we actually also desperately need given how threadbare we are in defence.
I mean I can't imagine we'll ever come to think of him as a bad signing given how much mileage we're probably going to get out of him. Even at worst he'll still be useful.

Has he even played for Barcelona this season?
No, he is now going for surgery.
hahaha, this is like Vidic and Evra all over again...Not saying he will be anywhere near them, but give the guy a chance ffs.
He's out for a while, but he does not need surgery according to our own website. LvG expects him to be back within 6 weeks.

Hopefully he spends the time out working intensely on his English. Gets himself as settled into life in Manchester as quick as he can.
I don't think Rojo is the answer, but he's not had the best circumstances to come into, and he's not shown to be any worse than what we have either.

The worry is how easily it seemed to pop out. Was just a sliding tackle, with no contact with anyone other than the ground. Be just our fecking luck if he turns out to have some sort of permanent instability of the joint.
proper start to a United career; at least for a CB.
Get to be truly acquainted with the medical staff.
Of course, shouldn't be surprised. Glad we dodged that one.
We need to give this guy a break, maybe not the answer but he is consistent or was
Finally found a postive with the signing and the player, he injures himself in a positive way. Now, that's a relief.
Good man Veron!

Marcos Rojo has revealed it was a 'huge surprise' when he heard Manchester United were interested in signing him in the summer.
Rojo emerged as a target for Louis van Gaal after his performances for Argentina at the World Cup. And even the 24-year-old says he wasn't expecting the Dutchman to come calling.
The centre-back was so desperate to secure a move to Old Trafford that he threatened to go on strike at Sporting Lisbon.
And Rojo, who is currently sidelined with a dislocated shoulder, says it was something he was willing to go through with until former United midfielder Juan Sebastian Veron stepped in.
Rojo said: “It was a huge surprise when I was told United wanted to buy me.
“I was in Portugal when my representative told me. He asked me to stay calm but I could not. I started living this dream.
“I could not think of anything else. I would call him every day, but when it seemed the transfer would not happen then I refused to work with Sporting.
“That was when Veron played his part in the process. He was like a strict father to me, scolding me.
“Veron called me one day when I had refused to train with Sporting and said ‘Do not be stubborn. If Manchester United wants a player then they will not let you escape.
“And so I went back, and the transfer went ahead.”

Just made me wish we had Veron nowadays in our midfield. What a player. Wrong time though.
Rojo was in the training video put on the official site today and in the back of a picture from last Friday's session too. LVG pulling a sneaky one with his fitness?
I never believed that
He simply didn't try hard enough in his spell with utd and lost his form.
Probably can do running to get his stamina up but, probably not much else for at least a few more weeks.
Don't believe it. I think he will be fine to play in a week or two and he is already training.
I already stated an example when Rojo got injuried. When i was in high school i was training handball and my friend dislocated his shoulder. Coach runned to him to help him and somehow fixed it. And my friend was playing handball a month later already. And hanball is much more contact sport than football.
I don't know what he did but suprisingly two months later i was watching ski-jumps and one of the jumpers fell and dislocated his shoulder. And he did compete the next day.
The comentator said the next day that one of medicine stuff fixed the jumper's shoulder while he was in shock and this is why he can jump just one day after the incident. I am no doctor to know more about it but i knew these two examples with dislocated shoulder.
It is probably important how bad the injury is but it looks like it can be sorted quickly.
Hope so - would be nice if we have him back at least for Southampton off the bench and then ready to start against Liverpool. Just think LVG will want to be extra careful because the last thing is want him out for an extended period because he comes back to early.
Fantastic news!
Nothing new there. We have already seen pictures of him training.
On another note Jackson really is clueless. Apparently Herrera has been "demoted" to the reserves and has struggled with the pace of the Premier League despite the fact he was one of our better players before he got injured.
Someone posted a video of training yesterday, and Rojo was involved, so it's not surprise. Great to have him back, though. Except for Jones, we now have all of our centre backs available. I just hope they can stay fit now.
What kind of training is he doing though? It's not difficult to run around with a sore shoulder.
