Marcos Rojo will be available to Louis van Gaal this weekend.
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has been handed a significant injury boost ahead of this weekend’s Premier League clash against Aston Villa, with the Daily Star reporting that Argentine international centre back Marcos Rojo will be available to van Gaal for the first time since November after he suffered a dislocated shoulder.

Rojo was the Red Devils’ big defensive signing of the summer, but his induction into Old Trafford life has been disrupted by a couple of injuries, meaning that the former Sporting Lisbon man has been unable to have the galvanising effect on the United back four that was hoped.
With the club having won six successive Premier League games despite fielding a ramshackle back line, however, van Gaal will hope that getting the likes of Rojo back on the pitch could propel them into an unlikely title battle with Chelsea and Manchester City.
