He began his football career with Estudiantes de La Plata, where he won the Copa Libertadores in 2009 and later that year won the Primera Division in 2010. He joined Sporting CP in 2012 and moved to Manchester United for £16 million two years later after a brief stint with Spartak Moscow. He won four trophies with the English club, the FA Cup in 2015-16, and the FA Community Shield, EFL Cup, and the UEFA Europa League in 2016-17. Rojo returned to Estudiantes on loan in January 2020 before making a permanent transfer to Boca Juniors in February 2021, after falling out of favour at Manchester United.

Rojo made his first appearance for Argentina in 2011 and has since gained over 60 caps. He was a member of the 2014 FIFA World Cup Finals. He served as a runner-up in 2015 and 2016 and appeared in the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

Personal life

Rojo is married to Eugenia Lusardo, a Lisbon lingerie model. They have a daughter.

Each thigh has a pair of tattoos, including the English words "pride" and "Glory."

In December 2014, Rojo had an affair with a woman he had encountered at a night club. He accused her of blackmail and obtained an injunction to prohibit newspapers from publishing his name in the story. In April 2015, an injunction was lifted on his name due to fears that other footballers might be accused of the crime, but it remains in force to prevent the publication of photographs of Rojo.

Boca Juniors defeated Palmeiras on penalties to advance to the Copa Libertadores final, but only after fellow Red Devil Marcos Rojo was dismissed!

www.dailymail.co.uk, October 6, 2023
Edinson Cavani, Sergio Romero, and Marcos Rojo were among the game's pivotal characters as Argentina's Boca Juniors defeated Brazil's Palmeiras 4-2 on penalties following a 1-1 draw to advance to the Copa Libertadores final. The Brazilians went on at the break a goal down after Cavani opened the scoring for the visitors in the 23rd minute by prodding a cross from Miguel Merentiel, who was on loan from Palmeiras. But their fortunes soon changed, with fellow Old Trafford apologist Rojo sent off for his second bookable offence on 66 minutes before equalizing in the 73rd with a deflected shot from the box's edge.
