Marcos Rojo plays down injury fears

Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo has hinted that his shoulder injury is not as bad as first feared.

The Argentine was stretchered off during yesterday afternoon's 1-0 defeat away at rivals Manchester City with a suspected dislocated shoulder.

That had resulted in reports that Rojo could be kept on the sidelines for up to six weeks.

However, the 24-year-old took to Twitter late last night to tell supporters: "Thank you all for your messages. Thank God it was nothing."

Manager Louis van Gaal has already ruled the centre-back out of United's home clash with Crystal Palace on Saturday.
