Marcos Rojo is likely to remain at Manchester United for the rest of the season.
The 30-year-old defender, who joined United from Sporting Lisbon for £16m in 2014, has not been a first-team regular since the 2016/17 season and was allowed to leave Old Trafford on loan in January.
He opted to join boyhood club Estudiantes for the rest of the season, only to suffer an injury after making his second debut for the Argentine side.
Rojo had hoped to remain at the club beyond the coronavirus pandemic, but Estudiantes manager Leandro Desabato has conceded that is unlikely.
He has told Radio Late 931: “We have to wait, but Rojo is likely to leave.
“The loan is due, and if Manchester do not want to continue loaning, it’s understandable.”
Rojo had earlier told Estudiantes Y Su Gente in April: “If it depends on me, I will speak to Manchester United’s management about the possibility of staying here for another six months.
“I will feel a tremendous sense of pain if I have to leave after playing in so few matches. I am completely recovered now, and fit to play once more.”
