Marcos Rojo set for Man Utd return

Marcos Rojo is set to return to Manchester United.

The Daily Star says Rojo and manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer are set to be forced into an awkward reunion.

The Argentina defender had been sent out on loan after failing to impress his new manager at Manchester United and slipping behind Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof, Axel Tuanzebe, Phil Jones and Eric Bailly in the pecking order.

The 30-year-old was delighted to be sent to former club Estudiantes for the remainder of the season back in January, but has been struck down with injury and only made a single league appearances.

Rojo publicly announced his desire to stay in South America amid uncertainty over his future, and then angered his parent club by smoking and playing cards with friends during the ongoing lockdown.
