I think there is a player in there and if he improved his concentration then he'd be easily good enough to be part of or squad. He's got a long way to go before getting into the first team line up though and i wouldn't blame Jose for letting him go.

Id guess if you look at pass completion stats you'd find Smalling appears the better passer of the two. If you use your eyes though you'd surely conclude that Rojo is.
Smalling clearly has no confidence whatsoever in his own ability to pass a ball any more than 10 yards, usually square to Blind or back to De Gea. Rojos passing can be purposeful and incisive similar but obviously not as good as Blind. It was poor last season though as was his overall performances. I think like most do he finds it easier playing out from centrehalf than left back which would figure as that would be more his natural position.

He's fine as backup for Shaw.
Hopefully we move him on next summer and then bring back CBJ into the fold after a loan move.

Would rather have CBJ in as cover for Shaw now rather than Rojo.
I think CBJ played much more convincingly than Rojo last season.
Smalling is more careful. Takes his time. He may not do quick instinctive passing either but he finds his man with the right weight on the ball. Can't always say that about Rojo. I've seen Rojo make bad passes under no pressure.
Rojo should be 4th choice LB in my opinion.
I agree, at this point I'd rather offload Rojo instead of having to loan CBJ out.
I'm not a believer in loans when a player looks very close to securing a place in the squad, especially a defender. I would rather they spend time with the team and develop in our own system.
That switch of him and O'Shea against Basle worked superbly well. When he was switched on he was very good. Bailly reminds me a bit of a stronger version of him, using their acceleration to make defending look easy at times. Never forget his goals on Rio's return from his ban.
Rojo reminds me more of Heinze than Silvestre. Argie CB/LB nutters that love a tackle and aren't the greatest attackers.
No white text?
Having the adidas logo so visible is clearly a marketing strategy, yet this muppet wears a nike hat. There were stories floating around during last years pre season that he was being difficult, this puts it into perspective for me.
I thought he actually did okay the last couple outings. After being skinned alive by Dembele in the Dortmund game, but saying that, so was Shaw in the same move so.. Maybe he can actually be a useful understudy this season, who knows.
How much would he get us if we sold him this summer?
Who cares just get rid of him
Can't believe it looks like he's still going to be here at the end of the window. Awful player, and I know Mourinho could likely improve him but I really dislike him.
The one Argie that didn't want to leave United 
Can't make it up
Can't make it up
Also imo there's no point sending CBJ out on loan because as long as he's at the club he'll always be back up to Shaw. So sending him out to develop seems to be just so we can sell him in the future. He'd be a much better back-up than Rojo.
Feyenoord 1:0 Man Utd
He's proper shit.
He can't pass. Gives the ball away. Cbj would have been perfect with pogba and martial providing width. But alas we are left with rojo
I'd rather have Ashley Young as fullback.
Nothing to see here. A standard performance by him really i.e. league 1 level.
It's hard to believe he's an actual footballer at times. He'd struggle to get the ball past his daughter in his back garden.
I thought he was terrible.
fecking hell, he is so bad. Let the injured Jones play or whoever has a left foot and 2 legs, he is dogshit.
Maybe we should have kept CBJ and given him these minutes instead.
He's not Premier league calibre nevermind United calibre.
He's way too limited to be a full-back in Mourinho's team, but I guess there's no one else to play him.
Disaster waiting to happen.
So nothing new really.
So nothing new really.
Why did we loan out CBJ and keep this imposter of a footballer.
Honestly the worst player I've ever seen in this club.
He and Utd are just not a good fit. He'd do well in Sevilla or something.
He's the worst player in the squad by miles.
Woeful woeful woeful. Said I was interested in seeing him get a chance under Mourinho but feck me I was wrong.
Fixed, not even joking.
100000%
I could say he's shite but we all know this anyway.
Garbage would be an understatement.
I know he's not had any competitive game time but he was fecking up basic positioning time and again.
He makes Gary Neville look like Ronaldinho. No attacking threat with him whatsoever.
Terrible player, I really can't stand him....
