Louis van Gaal: 'Marcos Rojo doesn't require surgery'

Manchester United boss Marcos Rojo reveals that defender Marcos Rojo could return from a dislocated shoulder "within six weeks".

Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo could make his return from a dislocated shoulder before the end of the year.

It had been reported that the Argentine would be out for around three months after suffering the injury in the 1-0 defeat to Manchester City last weekend.

However, manager Louis van Gaal has told reporters: "Rojo dislocated his shoulder but he did it as positive a way as you can.

"We do not need him to have an operation, so that is a relief but maybe with this injury, it is very likely that it can happen again and that is the problem.

"There is the risk it can happen again. The human body is made by God, not me. But it can be less than six weeks."

The 24-year-old has made seven appearances for United since signing from Benfica during the summer.
