Manchester United signing Marcos Rojo has been left sweating on his visa application. The Mail on Sunday says the Argentina international was signed by United 12 days ago and introduced as a new player at a press conference last Friday.
However, the £16m signing from Sporting Lisbon has still not played for his new club.
Contrary to claims the move was being held up by third party contract issues, it is understood that the actual issue is that Rojo is waiting to see if he will be given a UK visa as embassy officials look in to the details of an altercation with a neighbour in Argentina in 2010 that still lies on his file in his home country.
The 24-year-old was never prosecuted over the incident but it is still theoretically being investigated after the case was reopened in May of this year.
Rojo does not have a criminal record but it is likely that Embassy officials are checking the exact details of the situation before processing the visa.
Rojo has had a visa interview at the Embassy and is still in Spain awaiting the outcome.
