Marcos Rojo confident of Man Utd stay

Marcos Rojo has revealed he expects to stay with Manchester United next season.

The defender has worked his way back from injury to secure a place in manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's plans.

“It's been very good," Rojo told MUTV. “Since he [Ole] arrived, he's had an incredible relationship with me.

"When he got here, he told me I was part of his plans and that he wanted me to get myself fully fit.

“He helped me a lot because I was coming off a bad run of injuries and he told me to not worry and just concentrate calmly on making progress in my rehab and recovery.

“That was important to me and then as I've said, he allowed me to go back to Argentina to be with my family a while, as we didn't have any fixtures.

"I think his most positive feature is the way he is close to the players and he understands them very well too because he had a long career as a player himself and he played a long time here at this club too.

“I think that you can see that in his ideas on how to play the game and getting back to what United was before. He's very positive, always helping and always giving advice."
