Still unknown the severity of the injury
He's fine and potentially back for the Liverpool game.
If true, that's great news.
Has to be said though, the turnaround for him is astounding. From being one of the most lambasted players in our squad, he has become one of our key players in the space of 6 months.
It just shows that coaches/fans should be a bit more patient. If the fans were in charge he would have been sold for free this summer, I hated seeing LVG play him as a left back but he's been really good at CB.
I think the fact LVG used to overload them with instructions just confused the hell out of him, Mourinho has kept it simple and he's reaping the benefits of that.
LVG annoyed me more with his decision to completely disregard Rojo at a CB, despite how well he had played there for him the previous season. All because he had a pet project with turning Blind into a CB.
To be fair though, he had is fair share of poor games as a CB as well under LVG, and didn't really look like improving. Just the fact that 90% of the caf wanted him sold in the summer speaks volumes.
Fair play to Mou though, he has proven he can get the best out of players
The first page of this thread is hilarious. 
Oops.
Well, I should try this in the Memphis and Schneiderlin threads as well. Probably a bit too late for that, I guess.
Mourinho: "I don't know [if Rojo will be fit]. Marcos has a muscular problem, not big. I'm not saying he's not ready to play, I'm saying that I have my doubts.
Its a shame for him cos he was having a good run in the team. I do wonder when he might come cos it will be hard to suddenly drop Smalling/jones if they perform well esp on the weekend.
Go for Shaw.
Go for Shaw.
What Rojo has going for him is that he's the only left-footed centerback out of the four, and he is the most comfortable at LCB. He's every bit as good as Smalling at pure defending, but he's a much better ball player and helps the team build attacks from the back. He can also do a job at left back if needed, but it's clearly not his best position.
He needed this boost not only for United, but also for himself and his odds of being selected for Russia 2018. Argentina play him at LB because they don't any better options in that position, but I feel that right now he is better than Otamendi and on par with Musacchio as the best Argentine centerback in the world.

He needs to keep performing at this level though for another season atleast to be considered as a CB option for Argentina. Right now, I don't even know who our best defender is when everyone's fit. The partnership that he has developed with Jones will give these two the edge over over Bailly and Smalling for the time-being.
Marcos got his own youtube vid... leaps and bounds, so proud

Guy deserves all the plaudits coming his way, after all the stick he's received, going from looking like the worst United player to ever play for the club to being our best defender and being pivotal in our winning streak as of late. Absolute beast.

So strong in the tackle
*something leaked pics*
His tackling is near perfect in most of those clips. But hey, he had 2 tackles where he could have been sent off so he is a liability.
Fans are the worst when it comes to player analysis. The seal of approval Schneiderlin got on this forum before joining Man United, you do think he's shades of Edgar Davids. Same goes for players like Rodwell, Tiote, Dembele, Scott Parker etc.
Great to have him back for this game! Can't see him starting, but how sweet to have him on the bench just in case.
Man Utd 1:1 Liverpool
Thought this was an important game from him today.
Perhaps not his most eye-catching, but for a guy with a reputation as a hot head he kept his composure well when his defensive partner and options in front of him were losing theirs.

I thought he did well given Jones got the jitters a couple of times.
he bailed out Jones a couple of times. thought he was probably our best defender
I thought he was good, don't get why he's getting criticized on here.
Thought he was very good today.
Our best defender today.
When Bailly comes back it'll be him and Rojo at CB.

Good game from Rojo, brilliant player
He kept spanking the ball as hard as he could, constantly ruining any flow we could have going forward. He was better than Jones and bailed him once or twice but I wouldn't exactly say he was good.
He makes Jones look better, saved him a few times too.
None of our players looked comfortable under pressure, it was relieving when they were just clearing the fecking ball.
Aye, it's a huge problem that weeded itself into the team under Moyes and van Gaal and is yet to be purged.
Thank christ he was fit for this. Our best defender today.
Would have rather seen him left-back, pushing on the wing to provide support to Martial. Not sure whether his understanding with Jones is as great as some make it out to be in this thread.
Rock solid today.
Truly unbelievable how Rojo has turned into a solid CB. Was great today, bailed out Jones in one occasion.
One thing i do hold against him is his constant hoofing of the ball upfront, tho it might be that it's the manager's orders.

Probably our best player today. Cleaned up Jones and Pogba's mess a bunch of times. Hes been vital towards our unbeaten run.
Thought he was excellent today, and long may it continue. He's playing with confidence and looks like he doesn't fear anyone out there. Honestly he looks like a completely new player! So happy for him!
Excellent again.
I can't believe that this guy is the real deal! I was sure he would be sold by now. And yet, he has put his head down, he has worked hard, and he is now an important player for us! Congratulations Marcos Rojo!!!
