Biography
Faustino Marcos Alberto Rojo (born 20 March 1990) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a defender for Argentine Primera División club Estudiantes. Mainly a centre-back, he can also play as a left-back.
Rojo began his career at local club Estudiantes, where he won the Copa Libertadores in 2009, played in the FIFA Club World Cup Final later that year and won the Primera División in 2010. After a short spell with Spartak Moscow, he joined Sporting CP in 2012, and transferred to Manchester United for £16 million two years later. He won four trophies with the English club: the FA Cup in 2015–16 and the FA Community Shield, EFL Cup and UEFA Europa League in 2016–17. After falling out of favour at Manchester United, Rojo returned to Estudiantes on loan in January 2020, before making a permanent transfer to Boca Juniors in February 2021.
Rojo made his first appearance for Argentina in 2011 and earned 61 caps over eight years. He was part of their side which reached the 2014 FIFA World Cup Final. He was also a Copa América runner-up in 2015 and 2016 and took part in the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
