Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal has revealed that
it is taking longer than he had expected for Marcos Rojo to secure a work
permit.
Argentina defender Rojo was confirmed as a United player
last week in a move that saw winger Nani re-join Sporting Lisbon on loan until
the end of the season.
Rojo has been unable to make his debut for the Premier
League club as yet due to red tape and United manager Van Gaal had not
envisaged such a delay.
"Rojo is working on his permit because he has to go
abroad for that." he said.
"The difference between Angel di Maria and Rojo is
that he has an Italian passport and Rojo does not.
"He has an Argentinian passport and he has to work
for it. Now he is abroad in Madrid to work at the embassy, but it takes more
time than we expected."
Di Maria, a British record signing from Real Madrid this
week, is poised to make his United debut at Burnley on Saturday.
