Marcos Rojo is red. Literally, Rojo = Red in Spanish, and finally Rojo will suit up for the Red Devils. He’ll be ready and active when United take on Harry Redknapp’s Queens Park Rangers. According to The Guardian, the Argentina international was finally granted a work permit. The paperwork was signed off after Marcos Rojo flew to Madrid for an interview.
Manchester United’s new defender returned from international duty with Argentina to prepare for his debut against QPR on Sunday. Rojo is yet to play for his new club despite signing three weeks ago, due to work permit complications. He has represented his country in that time, playing the full 90 minutes against Germany last week in the repeat of the World Cup final. {Daily Mail}
He is currently staying at his hotel in Manchester and should start Sunday. It’s official that he will be available, so in all likelihood, he should start.
