​Rojo wants to prove himself at Man Utd this season

Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo is determined to prove his worth at the club.

The Argentine defender had chances to move on in the summer.

But Rojo did not want to go away when he could compete for a first team position at United.

He is over his injury problems and wants to show what he can do on a consistent basis.

"I'm happy here. I want to play; I want to be a regular," he told The Athletic.

"My best position is a central defender, that's where I want to play, but I'm happy to be used as a full-back too. I'm in very good condition this season.

"The pre-season was right and I've not been able to say that in other years because I've had injuries.

"I love it here. It's tranquil. My daughters are fully adapted here. They speak perfect English, my family is happy here.

"I can speak some English too. I've been here in the first team for longer than any other club in my career. I'm happy, I just want to play more.

"It's a big season for me – I want to play in the Copa America in my home country next year too."
