Some Crystal Palace fans have taken to Twitter to express their relief at the news that a late summer move for Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo collapsed.

The Athletic reports that a late move for the Argentina international fell through this summer for reasons that are not detailed, with the Eagles eventually opting to sign 33-year-old Gary Cahill on a free transfer instead.

Rojo managed to make just five Premier League appearances for the Red Devils last term, as he was blighted by injuries – he has missed 53 games since the start of the 2017/18 campaign.

The 29-year-old cost United £16m back in 2014, and has made 113 appearances for the club – his chances of game time at Old Trafford look bleak following Harry Maguire’s arrival, however.

One fan below said that he’d ‘prefer to have Gary anyways’, whilst another recalls a terrible studs-up challenge that Rojo made on Zaha at Selhurst Park back in the 2016/17 season.

Let’s take a look at some more of the Twitter reaction…
