Manchester United have officially confirmed that defender Marcos Rojo is leaving the Red Devils to re-join boyhood club Estudiantes on a loan deal until the end of the season.
The Red Devils signed the Argentine in the summer of 2014 for a fee of £16m, as per BBC Sport. Rojo has struggled with injuries over the last couple of years and has fallen down the pecking order at centre-back.

The 29-year-old has only made nine appearances for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side this season, with Eric Bailly returning from the sidelines – it seems wise for United to part ways with the ace as he’s out of the first-team picture.
Rojo announced his return to the Argentine outfit on Instagram earlier today, take a look here.

It’s nice to see that the aggressive defender has been given the chance to return to his boyhood club, Rojo starred for his hometown outfit before making a name of himself in Europe, thus earning a move to the Red Devils.
Some United supporters will undoubtedly miss Rojo’s unmatched passion and desire, the Premier League will also miss the commitment that the Argentine showed – however big or small the occasion.
