# Manchester United: Red Devils fans react to Marcos Rojo’s birthday message

**Several Red Devils fans reacted to [a post from Manchester United’s official Twitter account](https://twitter.com/ManUtd/status/1240904421766299650) wishing Marcos Rojo a happy birthday.**

Rojo is currently on loan at his childhood team Club Estudiantes de La Plata but many fans haven’t forgotten about the Argentinian “ankle-breaker.” The veteran defender has gained a fearsome reputation for making [some crunching tackles](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/8958658/rojo-man-utd-red-card-chelsea-higuain-willian-tackles/) throughout his career.

Since moving to Manchester from Sporting CP for £18m back in 2014, the 30-year-old has made over 100 appearances for United, before leaving for Estudiantes in January. His short-term contract is set to expire this June and it remains to be seen whether or not Ole Gunnar Solskjaer deems him surplus to requirements ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/marcos-rojo/profil/spieler/93176)).

Rojo only played for 211 minutes in the Premier League during the whole of the 2018/2019 season, blocked only 0.4 shots per game, unfortunately scored an own goal, and finished with a low overall statistical rating of 6.15 via [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/70050/History/Marcos-Rojo). The Argentine’s market value is rated at £9m via [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/marcos-rojo/profil/spieler/93176).

A large section of the United faithful replied to the club’s birthday message, with one supporter pleading with the club to “bring him back asap.”
