Rojo Speaks<\/h3>\n

Marcos Rojo has been speaking to Argentinian press as part of the buildup to their game against Mexico. He said: “I talked to (Lionel) Scaloni, he told me that he was happy because in the pre-season I had played many games, that I looked good and that’s why he called me, but that I had to play.<\/p>\n

“I’m sure that to play in the national team you have to play in your club, you have to always be there, and when you’re here, show why.<\/p>\n

“Now I have to fight until December and if it doesn’t work out, I will try to leave.<\/p>\n

Why Is Marcos Rojo Surplus to Requirements at Manchester United?<\/h3>\n

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has a number of options at centre-back, and the 29-year-old has fallen down the list.<\/p>\n

Summer signing Harry Maguire<\/a> and Victor Lindelof<\/a> are now the first choice pair at Old Trafford. Eric Bailly,<\/a> Phil Jones<\/a> and Axel Tuanzebe<\/a> are all now ahead of the Argentinian and as a result, it has caused Marcos Rojo to consider his future at Manchester United.<\/p>\n

Does Marcus Rojo Fit In At Aston Villa?<\/h3>\n

There is no doubt that Marcos Rojo would provide Premier League experience for Aston Villa.<\/p>\n

However, Aston Villa added four centre-backs to their squad in the summer transfer window. Tyrone Mings<\/a> and Bjorn Engels<\/a> have been the first choice pair, and have both have impressed since moving to Villa Park permanently. As a result, this transfer depends on whether manager Dean Smith will want to disrupt his squad.<\/p>\n
