Marcos Rojo says he is “desperate” to make an impression in his
Manchester United debut next week. Argentina internationalRojo signed
for United from Sporting last month in a deal worth a reported €20
million, but has not yet featured for his new club due to delays in him
being given a visa. However, the UK Border Agency granted the left-sided
defender permission to live and work in the country earlier in the
week, meaning he is now free to play for United. Rojo is therefore in
line to make his Premier League bow when Louis van Gaal’s side host QPR
after the international breakon September 14 and says hecannot wait to
get going in England. “I am desperate to get onto the field and play
because I have not been able to step into Old Trafford yet,” Rojo told
Argentine media. “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.”Rojo was ever-present as Argentina stormed to the final of the
World Cup in Brazil this summer before being beaten in extra-time by
Brazil.
