Manchester United take on Burnley at Turf Moor this weekend, in a game that could well be season-defining for Jose Mourinho.
The self-proclaimed Special One has come in for criticism over the past week, some of it deserved. However, his cause going forward has been made easier by the return of Marcos Rojo. The man from Argentina has returned to training, according to Mourinho – although the game this Sunday comes just too soon for the centre-back.
On top of that, Mourinho added that Phil Jones will not be available this weekend, due to the injury he picked up against Tottenham Hotspur last time out…
Jose also tells #MUTV Marcos Rojo has returned to training but is not yet ready for match action, and that Phil Jones will miss Sunday's game through injury. #MUFC

Let’s start with Jones. The Englishman has had far too many chances. More often than not, he doesn’t take them and we’re left wondering why the Englishman is still at the club…
Rojo is a funny one. I like him as a centre-half. In fact, the way he plays the game with passion, energy and pride is always great to see. He’s had some excellent games for the Old Trafford club during his United career, most notably alongside Eric Bailly during Mourinho’s debut campaign. Why not try get that partnership back and playing again? It seems to be the logical option at this point in time…
