Marcos Rojo has often come in for criticism from Manchester United fans for his performances at left-back this season, but he received universal praise for his performance in the Manchester derby against City at Old Trafford this afternoon.

From "excellent" to "phenomenal", the Argentine ace got nothing but praise from supporters on Twitter.

The best of the Rojo reaction on Twitter:

Rojo signed for United from Sporting Lisbon for £16m in August 2014, and has been given an extended run in the team at left-back this season because fo Luke Shaw's injury.
