Manchester United's Marcos Rojo Undergoes Shoulder Surgery

Manchester United's misery has been further compounded today with the news that Marcos Rojo underwent surgery.

The defender suffered a shoulder injury in training earlier this month after United’s 2-1 win at Watford in the Premier League.

Rojo also suffered a dislocated during a 1-0 defeat by Manchester City last season. The club decided he should have surgery on this occasion as preventative measure.

After damaging his shoulder against Man City he didn’t go under the knife and spent 4 weeks out of action.

Ya termino la operación me siento bien gracias a mi mujer @eugelusardo que está conmigo siempre y a todos los que se preocuparon y mandaron sus mensajes // My operation was a success. Thank you to my beautiful wife, always with me. Thank you everyone for your messages of love and support.
