Rojo, speaking to Portuguese publication Record, said he would be "delighted" if fellow Manchester United new boy Di Maria had the chance of being crowned the world player of the year.
"Di Maria deserves to be nominated for the Ballon d'Or," said Rojo.
"He is having a great time, playing great football, nobody is indifferent to what he is doing and I think he should be on that list.
