DONE DEAL: Man Utd defender Rojo joins Estudiantes on loan

Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo has completed a short-term loan switch to hometown club Estudiantes in Argentina.

The 29-year-old is returning to his homeland after being frozen out at Old Trafford.

He wants playing time to ensure he is part of Argentina's squad for Copa America.

Estudiantes announced that agreement had been reached with United on their social media channels, saying: “You always return to the places where you were happy. Because of the sense of belonging, it's stronger.

“Your dream and that of the Pincha family come true. We meet again. Welcome and thanks for coming back, Marcos. We welcome you with our hearts."
