Marcos Rojo granted work permit

Manchester United have confirmed that Marcos Rojo will be available for their next Premier League match after being granted a visa, allowing him to work in the UK.

The defender signed for Louis van Gaal's side last month, but has been unable to feature for his new club while waiting for the UK Border Agency to process his application for a permit.

However, the club has now announced that the Argentina international will be available for the match against Queens Park Rangers on September 14 following the international break after obtaining the necessary documentation.

United reportedly paid £16m to Sporting Lisbon for Rojo.
