Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal is furious with Marcos Rojo for not revealing the full extent of his injury, according to reports.

Rojo limped off during the second half of his first start of the season, in the 3-2 win over Southampton on Sunday, with a hamstring injury, an injury that Van Gaal has suggested that Rojo knew about before kick-off.

The United manager said before United's League Cup tie against Ipswich Town which takes place tonight: "Marcos Rojo is not ready to play. It's not so nice that we have three defenders injured [Rojo, Luke Shaw and Paddy McNair].

"I thought we were right on time for Rojo because we changed him in the game. He didn't warn us that he was injured. He has a hamstring injury."
