Tuesday 20 March 2018 09:00

Marcos Rojo is a man of few words in the media, partly due to his preference to speak in Spanish over English, which is fair considering he is not quite fluent in his adopted language.

Yet the Argentina international is definitely worth listening to and his recent Q&A, to mark the signing of a new contract at Manchester United, is a must read for fans.

In case you missed it, here are five standout quotes from his exclusive interview with our man Mark Sullivan at the Aon Training Complex...

Marcos Rojo says

"These four years have been amongst the best of my entire career. They’ve really shot by as well, it seems just like yesterday that I signed for United."

Marcos Rojo says

"I’d have to pick the FA Cup final in 2016 as my highlight. Playing in that game and lifting the trophy was special. It was a great experience."

Marcos Rojo says

"I’m absolutely convinced that we will be blessed with many more trophies and great moments during the rest of my time here at United."

Marcos Rojo says

"I cannot wait to get back to 100 per cent fitness so I can help the team out on the pitch. I’m absolutely dying to pull on the United shirt and play once again."

Marcos Rojo says

"It will be tough to win the World Cup but we believe in ourselves. We’ve got the best player in the world, Lionel Messi, and we all have a massive heart when we pull on the Argentina shirt."

THE MAN BEHIND THE CAMERA

MUTV's Mark Sullivan...

"I had the pleasure of speaking to Marcos last Friday, after he had put to pen to paper on a new contract at United - which was great news for the club. He may look like a defensive hard man, especially with those tattoos inked across his thighs, but in reality he is a personable and completely approachable guy who almost permanently has a smile spread across his face.
