Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo has hinted that his shoulder injury is not as bad as first feared.

The Argentine was stretchered off during yesterday afternoon's 1-0 defeat away at rivals Manchester City with a suspected dislocated shoulder.

That had resulted in reports that Rojo could be kept on the sidelines for up to six weeks.

However, the 24-year-old took to Twitter late last night to tell supporters: "Thank you all for your messages. Thank God it was nothing."

Manager Louis van Gaal has already ruled the centre-back out of United's home clash with Crystal Palace on Saturday.
