Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo has been left angry and frustrated by the collapse of his loan deal to Everton on deadline day.
And he has laid the blame for the failure of the deal firmly at the door of United, who decided to change the parameters of the proposed loan arrangement on the final morning, causing Everton to walk away from the agreement.
Everton were left without the central defender that they wanted, whilst Rojo is now forced to spend the next six months on the fringes of Old Trafford.
Given that he has only made 14 Premier League appearances in the past two years, due to a combination of persistent injuries and an indifferent form, the chances for the 29-year old Argentine international of first-team football in the coming months appear slim, especially since the arrival of Harry Maguire at the club.
Rojo joined United from Sporting Lisbon for £16 million in August 2014.
