Rojo, 33, won the treble with Boca Juniors last year after making the switch back to his native homeland from United in 2021. In April, he spoke of his frustrations with the lack of game time he was afforded towards the end of his seven-year stay with Harry Maguire preferred.

He said: “In 2019 I was playing in the Europa League, but I was really angry with the Manchester coach [Ole Gunnar Solskjaer] because he was putting Maguire [in the team] instead of me. Thank god finally they took him out from the starting line-up for Licha [Lisandro] Martinez.

“One day I went to Solskjaer’s office to tell him to let me leave for the other club or put [me] in the starting line-up, but he told me that Maguire had to play because of the money they paid for him.

“He [Maguire] was making huge mistakes already and I told Solskjaer: 'Son of a b***h let me play because this guy is making huge mistakes every week'.”
