On a day where Adnan Januzaj, Javier Hernandez, Anders Lindegaard and David De Gea have all departed Manchester United, you'd think Louis Van Gaal would want to keep his remaining first team players sweet. Not so, it would seem, with 'The Iron Tulip' apparently having a furious falling out with Argentinean defender Marcos Rojo.
Rojo is yet to feature this season, despite establishing himself as a first team regular last term, with his conditioning and fitness being brought into question by Van Gaal.
The former Sporting defender enraged Van Gaal when passport issues meant he couldn't join up with the rest of the first team during United's pre-season tour of the United States, and he was subsequently fined two weeks wages, totalling £140,000. Now, the two have clashed over Rojo's return to fitness, with the Dutchman opting to use Rojo in a behind closed doors friendly with Ajax last week.
Rojo expressed his misgivings to Van Gaal, which led to United attempting to use him as part of the Anthony Martial deal with Monaco that is set to be completed in the coming hours. Monaco preferred a solely cash offer (somewhere in the region of £36m) and Valencia failed in a last minute bid as the Spanish transfer deadline passed.
With just under 19 hours of the transfer window remaining, the last thing United fans will want to see is another first team player departing, especially as the Red Devils are extremely light up front, even with the arrival of Martial and arguably, already needed defensive reinforcements before the falling out between Van Gaal and Rojo.
