Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo still waiting for work permit

Louis van Gaal confirms that Marcos Rojo is still waiting to be granted a work permit following his move to Manchester United from Sporting Lisbon last week.

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has confirmed that new signing Marcos Rojo is still waiting to receive a work permit following his move from Sporting Lisbon.

The Argentina international signed for the Red Devils from Sporting Lisbon last week for a reported £16m fee.

However, the defender was not eligible to feature for the former Premier League champions in last weekend's 1-1 draw with Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.

Rojo's availability for Saturday's match against Burnley is also uncertain after Van Gaal revealed today that the defender has gone to the Argentinian embassy in Madrid.

Van Gaal also confirmed that his injury list currently stands at 10.
