Marcos Rojo: I'm immersed in Manchester United

In an exclusive interview with MUTV, last summer's signing from Sporting Lisbon reflected on his time at Old Trafford so far and declared life could not be better in Manchester. “From the moment I arrived I've been immersed in the club, the history and the way the manager wants us to play,” said Rojo. "It's my first season here and I think I've fitted in well. I'm delighted with how quickly I've settled in." The Argentinian has impressed recently, after his early months with United were punctuated by injury. But Rojo won't rest and he has identified areas for personal development. “I know I have to improve a lot of things. I need to get to know the league better and our opponents' characteristics. I’m working hard to do that." A tough, determined and unflappable performer, Rojo’s performances have played a big part in helping the Reds establish one of the best defensive records in the Barclays Premier League. The 24-year-old has enjoyed the challenges he has faced thus far and says he will continue to take future tests in his stride. “I don’t get nervous really," he said. "Maybe there are some nerves every now and again before the game, but once I'm out there on the pitch, they disappear.”
