It's safe to say the 25-year-old footballer could do with some training tips on how to use a toaster after serving up the burnt bread to his loved one.

On Monday the La Plata-born defender pulled out of the Argentina squad in order to close in on full fitness during the international break.

Argentina are due to take on Ecuador and Paraguay, but Rojo will stay at Carrington as he targets a return to action against Everton on October 17.

A statement released by the Argentinian FA read: 'Marcos Rojo will not be part of the squad for the qualifying debut against Ecuador and Paraguay, as he is in the final phase of recovery from a grade 1 injury in his right hamstring.'

If the game against Everton comes too early he could return to action in the Champions League against Russian side CSKA Moscow.

Rojo has missed Manchester United's last four games after sustaining the hamstring injury during victory against Southampton.
