The central defender's deal with the Argentine giants expires in December and he has so far not been offered an extension to his stay with the Buenos-Aires based outfit. Boca captain Rojo, 35, was dropped for the crunch Torneo Apertura play-off quarter-final defeat by Independiente earlier this week. He had scored a penalty in the shootout in the last-16 victory over Club Atletico Lanus.

According to Ole, Rojo complained about the club not offering him a new deal during a team bonding BBQ with his team-mates, including ex-United striker Edinson Cavani.
