Ex-Man United star in furious row with club chiefs as he refuses to train to force transfer

Ex-United defender Rojo is refusing to train at Racing Club in Argentina, seeking a move back to boyhood club Estudiantes.

Marcos Rojo, the former Manchester United defender, has gone AWOL from Racing Club and is refusing to train in a bid to force a transfer to Estudiantes, his boyhood club where he began his career. The 36-year-old, who spent six-and-a-half years at Old Trafford before returning to Argentina in 2021, joined Racing in August 2025 but tensions have escalated following the club's Copa Argentina elimination and fading title hopes. Estudiantes have reportedly made contact with Rojo about ending his career at the club.
