A number of current and former Manchester United players have sent messages of support to ex-Reds defender Marcos Rojo after the Argentine suffered a serious knee injury earlier this month.
Rojo, who left United to join Boca Juniors in 2021, revealed that he would be out of action for "seven to eight months" after suffering a serious knee injury - the same injury he sustained while playing for the Reds in April 2017.
The 32-year-old defender will require surgery after picking up an anterior cruciate ligament injury, which occurred when he fell just moments after having a penalty saved in a league match on Wednesday. He is set to have an operation next week.

"It’s not the first time (nor will it be the last) that I have to get back up after suffering a hard knock," he added in an emotional Instagram post. "You all know about the unfortunate moment I suffered on Wednesday and the time I’ll be sidelined. It’s hard and it’s going to be difficult and I’ll need to think about it the least I can."
Former United teammates David de Gea and Juan Mata were among those who posted messages of support to the Argentina international on social media.
De Gea wrote: "I love you buddy!" Mata added: "We are with you brother".
Ander Herrera, Eric Bailly and Sergio Romero also offered their support to Rojo. Herrera sent a photo of the pair during their days together at United, writing: "Strength my friend." Bailly, who is on loan
