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.
From this performance he's a CB playing LB, but looked comfortable throughout, good distribution, won headers, looked fearless. And kept things simple on his debut, which for me is a positive. Good start from him
Has Rojo got a chant yet? I reckon the Yaya chant would work with his name perfectly. But not sure if it would catch on because Citeh fans use it all the time.
I reckon Rojo is going to end up in the Gary Neville/Garbriel Heinze school of popularity. Not the worlds greatest in terms of skill, but the endeavour and emotion on the pitch are going to be really popular with the fans.
I can already picture him running 60 yards down the pitch to celebrate a winner in front of the scousers...

Beast in the air, don't think I saw him lose one aerial duel.
Tbf hasn't LVG banned any language bar English being spoken?
Rojo panicked and yelled "parlez vous francais?" while De Gea hollered, "fur fecks sake, ge oot da wey, I cannae see!"
... And to think we could have had Vermaelen, definitely dodged a bullet. Think he'll make that 16m we paid for him look a bargain if he carries on at this rate.
If him and Blind carry on in the same vein, Utd will have went a long way to solving two of their biggest squad issues for less than a Mangala!

nice to know he is good in the air.
Marcos Rojo is a red, it's his surname

A duo with Rojo/Smalling, aerial dominance.
Ay, from first impressions I'm glad we ended up with Rojo. Younger, fitter, more aggressive and more scope to improve. Plus I'm not a big fan of Vermaelen at left back.
United fans can once again love Argentina. The ghosts of Tevez and Heinze have been laid to rest.
This was discussed weeks ago. It's Rojo Rojo Rojo...... mushroom.

there's something lovably cnutish about him. Seems very passionate and like he's delighted to be here, and looks a suitably tough bastard too. I reckon he'll do really well here.
Personally I thought he was quite good as a LB, if he can pass and move like that at CB it will be something to watch.
Jones and Rojo would be an intimidating pair to play against!

Yes, yes he did.
Did you also notice when we scored one of our goals, (it might have being mata's if I remember) after the players celebrated, Rooney and rojo walked away together but had their arms around each other laughing and joking, maybe Rooney is finally showing captain ability.
God knows how rojo understands scouse.
Very happy we got him instead of Vermaelen. Hope van Gaal is too.
Gotta love the Rojo!
That was actually quite Evra-esque.
Maybe not as funny as Pat always used to be but good spirit returned with the pace of build ups.

We can't be sure he wasn't assaulting him there. Might have been having hallucinations of his neighbour back in Argentina.
Seriously though, like the look of him a lot and he seems to be a real character, probably will be influential in the dressing room after a while. Don't be surprised to see 'Pride and Love' tattooed on Shaw's chubby cheeks in a few weeks.

Very impressed by this guy - he looks like a top player.
I didn't watch the WC religiously, and didn't really notice him, but I was worried we had signed him on the back of a single good tournament which our manager happened to be around to see. Not the best way to acquire players. (I had concerns about Blind as well because of his connection with LvG). Sunday provided a lot of reassurance though.
Rojo looks such a talent that you wonder why he hasn't been snapped up before now. Where's the catch?

That's really good to see. He geniunely looks like he's one of those players who will really get the club and love playing for it. Something like how Evra was, and that was, as somebody mentioned, rather Evra like.
Gotta love the Rojo!
The bucketload of yellow and red cards he accumulated at Sporting. @Sly pointed this out when we first got linked with him, that he is mint for four or five games then boom he does something stupid and is sent off, costs the team, comes back, looks good, rinse and repeat. Let's hope Van Gaal snaps him out such a vicious cycle.
To be fair to Dixon and his quote, he laughed at himself being so thick afterwards when he realised what he said.
