Let's be honest, when Mourinho said Rojo is very good he was simply trying to give him confidence ahead of his chance in the Europa League. In reality we all know that Rojo is shite and shouldn't be at our club.

Why on earth did we loan out CBJ? He's miles better than Rojo, who is honestly one of the worst players I have ever seen at United.
But to be fair, CBJ will be getting more game time on loan than he would here by playing the odd game here and there.
We should just play Blind at LB if we're ever resting Shaw.

Erm are you sure that you were following man United last season? The only one who was worse then rojo was mcfail.
Borthwick-Jackson isn't better than Rojo.
No idea where people have got this idea from. I imagine it's the same people who insisted that Wilson should start over RVP, Varela is better than Darmian, Pereira is better than Mata, etc. And trust me, I've read all of these comments and they were completely serious.
He's not starting material but he's far from being as bad as some make him out to be on here. Keep him around as back up until an academy player can cement a place, otherwise he's good enough. We certainly shouldn't be looking to buy a backup LB, and he's no worse than some of the bench warmers we've had over the years.
As a CB, I think he is good enough to start for us. But I've always been a fan of his going back to his Sporting days, so I'm gonna say that anyway.
I heard Zidane was interested in buying him but that might be just internet talk. If thats true, then we should absolutely keep hold of him. Like I said though, he needs to be played as a CB. I'd like to see us try out a Bailly/Rojo partnership. See how it gets on.
Rojo better than Blind and Smalling. 
You're taking the piss surely?
You're taking the piss surely?He was signed because LVG had to have a left footed centre back and he was the best available.
I don't think he's as bad as the comments above suggest. He can play left back but not in the system United are currently playing. The wide players tuck in so the only width comes from the full backs. He's not good enough on the ball to play that role. He was often in front of Pogba vs Feyenoord. If he's playing left back you need a winger ahead of him to hold the width.
It was also his first game of the season. I think the squad is too big to keep everyone match fit.
So in one post you say that you don't care how highly Zidane rates Scholes - that won't change your opinion on him as a player, but now that you hear Zidane might be interested in Rojo it makes you want to keep him no matter what?
How is that relevant to this thread? Scholes was never better than Zidane, or even in the same bracket as him. But thats for another thread.
My point was that it says a lot when Real Madrid are potentially interested.
Your point is that if Zidane rates him enough to buy him then you'd want to keep him no matter what, but when Zidane says Scholes is better than him as a midfielder you don't care at all. Real Madrid don't have a perfect record in their transfers.
He is better than Rojo. I don't know what games you were watching last season. CBJ has shown much more composure on the pitch and even chipped in with some assists. He's easily the best crosser of a ball in this team as well. His two back to back MOTM performances for Wolves come as no surprise.
You know what, after seeing this I realize what im dealing with. You don't need to respond to my post
Rojo better than Blind and Smalling.
He's deadly serious
He is never meant to be first choice I think. Backup to Shaw and left CB. He has experience and is content with a place on the bench. I still don't like him though. Better to have an up and coming youngster to be the backup.
Blind is not a natural CB.Rojo better than Blind and Smalling.
Smalling is a liability. It's no surprise we lost to Feyenoord with him at the back. He's West Ham level. One season when he isn't completely useless and people start comparing him to Kompany/Ramos/etc. It's a joke.
Young is our best crosser. And I can't stand him in the team.
Northampton 1:3 Man Utd
Even though I think of him as completely shit now, he still surprises me with just how terrible he exactly is. Much rather have Darmian at LB than this fraud.
Competition winner.
He's a fecking liability.

Yeah I know. Continues to astound
Utter shite whenever he plays. Bring CBJ back and ship this cnut out.
Christ, he's shocking.
So error prone.
Heads the ball back to the crosser. Idiot
He's maybe our worst ever defender?
He is so shit. Dont know who is worse, he or Rooney
How is he Argentina's #1 left back? Is he the only left back in the country?
Him and Rooney competing for the most useless footballer award at United.
Shades of Alex Buttner.
How he gets to play for Argentina is beyond me

Mourinho simply cannot persist with him. He is a liability.
He is truly hopeless, I struggle to think of a Premier League player worse than him. Never, ever field him again. Inexplicably shit at pretty much everything he does.
The first thing he did was quite good. He also made a good run for Herrera to pass to around the box.
Otherwise, utterly dreadful. Comfortably the worst player out there for us.

With Buttner it was at least easy. Everybody knew he was shit, he knew he was shit so, the rest of the team knew he was shit. No expectations except try not to lose the ball.
This guy however, is supposed to be a decent/good player who incidentally plays for a top top international team with the likes of Messi, Higuain etc.
Buttner was never this bad. Such a comparison is an insult to Buttner.
Buttner was bang average with shades of flair. He wasn't brainless and hopelessly shit.

I'd have completely disagreed with this not too long ago but his defending this calendar year has been woeful.
I do think he's better at centre half, granted, and could do a good job somewhere else if playing in the right environment.
Buttner haha forgot about him. Remember all the panic when we were all scared about him playing vs Bayern when Paddy was injured.
Pretty sure at centre back his inadequacies would be exposed even more. That 'header' for instance, truly woeful stuff.
He really is shocking defensively... Like even against terrible opposition he doesn't look any better
Clearly being paid by Rooney to try and avoid being the lowest rated player on the Caf.
I don't think he's necessarily bad, but I just think he's in the wrong league.
