MARCOS ROJO looks happy as he makes his return to first-team training... but his Manchester United team-mates don't share his mood.

The Argentine defender, 27, has been out of action for four months after suffering an ACL tear.

Rojo sustained the injury during a 2-1 victory in the Europa League over Anderlecht in April.

But now, he looks ready to rejoin United's high-flying squad after Jose Mourinho's men won their first two Premier League games 4-0 - against West Ham and Swansea.

United's stars reported for a double-training session on Tuesday ahead of their next game against Leicester - despite sitting top of the table.

Rojo had looked set to leave United this summer before he excelled midway through the 2016-17 season in the absence of Eric Bailly and Chris Smalling.

So he naturally looked thrilled just to take to the Carrington turf on Tuesday morning - despite being a few weeks away from full fitness.

However, his team-mates hardly shared his enthusiasm as they looked miserable as they arrived first thing.

Paul Pogba, Smalling, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Marouane Fellaini in particular looked glum.

In other injury news, Luke Shaw and Ashley Young both played an hour of United's most recent Under-23s game, coming through unscathed as they step up their recovery.

United next get the chance to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League when they host Leicester at Old Trafford on Saturday evening.
