I thought his issue might be having trouble getting into the US due to his legal problem.
 
He's getting disciplined by LVG because of passport issues he has no control of? Am I missing something :confused:
It's probably bullshit. They love to paint LvG as the unreasonable dictator.

Apparently his passport expired. Actually I'd agree that it's in his interest to have it extended, if he hadn't done that and misses two weeks of preseason because of that then it's only reasonable to not pay him for this period because he's cleary not working. If I virtually extended my holiday because I failed to fill in papers that'd allow me to work I'd not expect to receive money for those two weeks.
 
We need to stop signing Argentinians, forgetting to renew his passport...what an idiot

If he's getting disciplined because of passport issues then it was 100% something that he was in control of - like forgetting to renew etc. LvG is strict, but he is not unreasonable.
 
Has he reached the US? His tweet says almost back to training and has the MUTour hashtag. Is he training with the rest of the 1st team squad in the US?
 
If you don't show to your work and have 3/4 days late, I guess that your boss will fire you.

I hope that he'll play in reserve the first few games in order to show him the respect of the club

Fine him all right but playing him in the reserves would be OTT.

Laurent Blanc fined and didn't played Lavezzi and Cavani last January because they were late.

I think that this would be good to play him with the reserve the first few games (match fitness :d)
 
If it's really only that kind of issue there's no bigger problem, he'll join the group in Manchester and train for the next two weeks and hopefully he'll have few minutes in the season opener.
 
Tbh, I'm amazed any footballers are trusted to sort stuff like passports themselves. Totally thought they'd have somebody to look after this sort of thing for them.
 
The passport feck up isn't a great indicator this Argie will end up a good signing either. Maybe an innocent hiccup but not a great sign none the less.

So I guess his pal Di maria leaving could go two ways for his United career;

a) He's becomes unsettled without his friend, agitates to leave before long.

or b) He integrates more into the group/club culture, without any bad influences or distractions and starts performing well enough to nail down a place at CH.

He could well become our first choice CH as he has more natural ability than any of the others.

Which begs the question; is he focused and determined enough to achieve it or will big Lou run out of patience and get shot of him?
 
this is a guy who pisses off the former employer (not a good thing to do admittedly, but shows his eagerness) to play here. hopefully things go on positively
 
Quite optimistic for Rojo's season - as @darioterios says, he looks like he really loves being at the club and wears his heart on his sleeve. That isn't in doubt.

What he does need to prove is his intelligence and positioning, because I imagine much of the criticism directed towards him stems from his apparent rashness. Unlike some, I don't think he's destined to fail; he's only 25, which is young for a centre back, and I think if he can improve the mental side of his game, he could become a really good player for us. There are few centre-backs who aren't vulnerable to concentration issues (Mr Ferdinand certainly had a few) and the likes of Gary Cahill and Laurent Koscielny have shown that you need time to improve in that area.
 
The guy loves being at United, he's so passionate as well.

No worries over this Argie.
 
He does look a bit a stocky in those training pics. Wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't figure for a while and LVG puts him on a specialised training regime.
 
He's more talented than Jones or Smalling and it'll show this season.
