In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
He will be a lot of fun. Always love a bit of aggression in players.
Good to break up the English back line!
He speaks Spanish right?

Welcome to UTD, Rojo!Welcome, he'll surprise a few im sure!
Welcome to Old Trafford Rojo, but not any improvement on Smalling imo. Another cb is necessary and if we don't get one I'll remain very worried about our defence this season. Does he even speak English, because our miscommunication in the last game led to both goals?
World Cup highlights.
Warning: Shit music
Not excited at all but, well, good luck, I hope that he proves me wrong. And if Van Gaal wants him, he should have him. We need numbers in defense anyway
He's a completely different type of defender to Smalling for one.
At least someone here has seen a fair bit of him.
Shaw & Rojo, better option than an ageing Evra & useless Buttner, atleast that is one area of the team we have improved on.
If it was during the world cup I wonder if he was someone we scouted last season rather than a LvG signing
It's quite obvious we thought we would get Vermaelen.
Good news welcome to United Rojo.First of a few hopefully.
Rojo is a CB first and its his preferable position.
How many of those that are critical of this signing have watched him play more than 10 times?
Can't say I have but then I'm not being critical.
Seems like a lot of people are basing their opinion on people from Twitter.

I'm aware of this, I meant in terms of pure quality. I assume atm, we'll play with this defence:
Evans, Smalling, Rojo
I want to be positive about him, but I'd be surprised if he makes a big difference, at least in the short term. His main appeal is that he's left footed. Who knows though, Van Gaal may turn him into a very good cb.
He's definitely our most tattooed player ever. He has 'em on his neck!
Who doesn't speak English out of Blackett, Smalling and Jones?

Sporting have put a clause in the Rojo contract, seeing them get 20% if Manchester United sell the player for more than €23m.

Yeah.. That'll never happen
No need to be like that, I'm just saying, he won't be able to help in that respect in the short term. Their lack of communication obviously wasn't because of a language barrier, it was because none of them took control of the defence the way Vidic and Rio used to. Constant communication is vital in any good defence.
He won't last long with LVG if he does that and I'm sure he will learn that soon enough.
Plus Nani free of charge for a year. Heavy fee
Not only this but people are saying a fee of c. £16m (+ say £3-4m of Nani's wages) is stupidly high.
The fact is without knowing Rojo's salary fans can't really judge if we are overpaying. If he is earning £1-2m a year then he's a bargain.
Well said Ole!
SAD Sporting SAD
But can also cover left back and is better than Buttner so win win.
The pavilion i.e. the stands.
Just joking mate.
I agree with you, communication is a key for a good defense, it will be better once they click, weather it is 4 or 3 in the back. They were shifting positions all the time and didnt play regulary together and I think LVG will slot Rojo in that equation nicely.
Weather he speaks English or not I dont know, but its his dream move to play for us, that's a good thing to hear for sure.
Bebé, Fellaini above release clause, Herrera one year later, and a 5m gift in Nani's wages to Sporting, which added to the rest severely overvalues Rojo.
You really need to do something about your upper management. It's wonderful doing business with you lot.

Does this mean we are signing Di Maria?
Weather he speaks English or not I dont know, but its his dream move to play for us, that's a good thing to hear for sure.
I'm sure he's ecstatic to play at United, as any player would be. But why do people still value this clichéed stuff? What were the last players to say something neutral such as "hmmm. I guess it's ok" when asked about how it feels to play at United.

Absolutely, it's always better when a player actually wants to play for us for reasons other than money. I'd love to see him succeed, but I'm not getting carried away just yet. More investment is still needed imo. At least it's a start though.
There's a difference between I'm happy to be here and It's my dream to play for this club.
Chevrolet, adidas and AON agree.
Of course, we need 2 or 3 more signings, I think we'll be happy if we make 2 more..
There is?
Decent signing, better than Vermaelen for me, but not enough, hope at least one more will be done soon.
Yup.
