Marcos Rojo has completed a move to Estudiantes, where he will spend the rest of the 2019/20 season.
What’s the story?
The Argentina international move to the Red Devils from Sporting Lisbon in 2014 for £16m. In those six years, he has made 122 appearances, scoring two goals.

However, he has appeared in just nine matches in all competitions so far this term, and as such he has returned to his homeland on a short-term basis.
Leaves United short
On the one hand, given his considerable lack of game-time, it makes sense that he would leave, and a loan is probably the easiest deal for all involved. However, given that he clearly doesn’t seem to be a part of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s plans moving forward, United may have been looking for a permanent switch instead.

At 29 years of age – he turns 30 in March – his re-sale value will dwindle with each passing year – he is currently valued at £9m by Transfermarkt. However, some good performances for Estudiantes could persuade the South American team to part with some money to sign him for beyond this campaign.
Either way, with a contract that runs out in 2021, he does not seem to have a future at Old Trafford.
