Rojo has spent much time recently back in Argentina after he was loaned back to Estudiantes for the second half of last season.
"Marcos will return to his homeland on a permanent basis, after agreeing terms with the reigning Argentinian champions," a United statement read.
"Everyone at the club would like to wish him all the best for the future."
