I like seeing shit like that, bollocks to whatever he gets paid, I don't remember hearing that argument when people were fawning over Fletcher and Young doing it.
It's only a good thing. Why do people have to be so cynical?
He could have sat with the directors or whatever but chose to sit with the away fans, to experience the atmosphere first hand. Not many players do that.

Its not just football forums though. Some people walk around like a bear with a sore tooth annoyed by anything and anyone around. Rather pathetic.
It's a nice gesture by him, and even through his struggles here, you can see he's trying to adapt and get the club. Seeing our history with some of his fellow countrymen, i quite welcome this.
Sits with the away fans, lurks around the stadium on non-match days. Reminds me of Evra the way he fell in love with the club.
I like him, He seems to genuinely enjoy playing for the club and is underrated by our fans for some reason, especially considering he has been better than Phil Jones who some still think is going to be a good defender (yeah right).

Only difference was Evra was a cracking player!
Same here. I get the impression he couldn't believe his luck when he signed for us, and I think he's a much better defender than people give him credit for.
Agreed. If only he had more luck with injuries I am sure he would be starting regularly. I still think he could be a fantastic player for us.
He's great. We could do with more players who genuinely seem to like it here.
I just don't understand the stick Rojo gets here. Better than Jones by some distance and can put in a fantastic cross when he goes forward. The only complaint is that he's been prone to injury.
I'm repeating what's already been said here, but I boggles my mind the amount of criticism this guy gets. First, like Evra, he seems genuinely happy to have joined United (a stark contrast to his fellow Argentine that joined us last year.) Second, when healthy, I think he's proven to be a very useful player, one who play multiple positions, has a good cross in him and plays with passion. I remember him having a howler at the beginning of his first season (I think it was his second game, but I can't remember the opposition,) and he gave away a stupid penalty recently, but those are the only blights on his C.V. that spring to mind (well I guess the passport thing wasn't the brightest, but that seemed a bit of a tempest in a teapot kind of thing.)
Fitness permitting, I think he'll prove to be a very valuable member of our squad.

In fact, I daresay I could see him becoming one of my favourites. Vamos Marcos the Red!!
Here here...that is if van Gaal doesn't ship him off before he leaves. He has all the right attributes and is an absolute beast on my FM save.
When's he meant to be back? We'd be better off if we can go back to our original CB pair with him at LB covering Blind's defensive deficiencies.
He was playing very well in the LB role before he got injured.
Yeah I think he's under-rated on here. Can be very solid. Has his moments, but more often than not he is a rock at the back. Can whip a good one as well.
He's no Smalling but agree now that he's better than Jones and should pair with Smalling when fit.
I thought 3 months was the initial prognosis but his injury is upper body related, so he's probably already in good conditioning and he looks to be without any cast on his shoulder in those pictures so may be sooner than that.
For the time being, I like him better at left back with Blind the middle.
I preferred that as well, but Blind has been quite unreliable at CB recently, Smalling has suffered from that as well.
Seems like a bad patch of form and hopefully it improves because he is usually highly consistent. That being said I like Rojo in situations where he can react instinctively and not have to make decisions, which is at left back and Blind's decision making is safer at center back.
He was defending quite well at left back and we looked pretty solid but we weren't getting anywhere near enough attacking joy out of our fullbacks. He didn't really have any chemistry or link up with the winger infront of him and for every good cross in, there were 7-8 very poor ones.
Much needed if true.
Wow, that's great news if true. I could've sworn van Gaal said he'd be out until March time.
It's not, he posted this today on Instagram after he caught his wife taking Fellaini out after training.
Players still go to training while injured they just do different types of training
Yeah i imagine there's nothin stopping Rojo doing light training with an injured shoulder but the length of time out will be getting it back up to strength (unfortunately currently speaking from experience).
My first thought when I saw this was, yeeesh fella behind him, careful with that shoulder!!
Various German sources linking him to Schalke. Thinkable? I've doubts considering your already rather thin squad.
nope. Plus I like him as a defender. Competent cover for LB and CB.
Evra was terrible when he first arrived...
Both rojo and jones are average and they are better that mcmare. The former is more useful cause the latter is a crock.
My main issue with Rojo is he can be very rash..but not half as rash as Jones so he wins easily for starting LCB.
Didn't take him too long to settle and he basically usurped Hienze by the end of his first season with the club
It's not, he posted this today on Instagram after he caught his wife taking Fellaini out after training.
Completely forgot he existed
when is he coming back? he actually looked at least decent whenever he played for us this season.
He might have least added some fire and fight to the team tonight.
