Marcos Rojo counting down days for Man Utd debut

Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo is counting down the days to his debut against QPR.

The 24-year-old has been granted the necessary clearance and could make his Premier League bow against QPR on September 14.

"I am desperate to get onto the field and play because I have not been able to step into Old Trafford yet," Rojo said while on international duty with Argentina.

"I am very happy to be at Manchester United, a top team in the world, sharing a dressing room with players like Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie [and fellow new signings] Angel Di Maria and now Radamel Falcao.

"This is a very important step in my career as a player and as a person.

"Everything that has happened to me since the World Cup has been a dream."
