Estudiantes LP
Rojo grew up in La Plata, Argentina and joined his local side Estudiantes de La Plata at the age of ten.
In 2009, he got promotion to the club’s main team, after signing his first professional contract. He spent three years with the club, making 43 appearances and scoring three goals for the team.[2]
During his time at Estudiantes, Rojo won a Copa Libertadores and an Argentine Primera Division title. The defender spent most matches at left back and developed a reputation as a capable attacker, scoring his first goal in a 2–1 defeat against LDU Quito in the 2010 Recopa Sudamericana.
Spartak Moscow
In December 2010, Rojo signed a five-year contract with Spartak Moscow.[3] His time inMoscow was as unsuccessful as it was short-lived, however, with the defender seeking new pastures within a year of his arrival.

On 13 August 2014, it was announced that Rojo was being disciplined by his club over his refusal to train after handing in a transfer request to force through a £16 million move to Manchester United. On 19 August 2014, an agreement to sell the player for €20 million was announced by both Sporting and the buying club, Manchester United. The deal was subject to a medical and personal terms.[4][5][6]
