backed defender Marcos Rojo to become an important
member of the first team at Old Trafford.
Louis van Gaal believes Marcos Rojo has the potential to
become a key figure for Manchester United if he fulfils his
potential.
The Argentina international joined United from Sporting CP in
August 2014 and made 26 appearances in all competitions in
his first campaign at Old Trafford.
Rojo has featured just three times so far this season due to
injury, but his manager Van Gaal feels the 25-year-old has a
bright future ahead of him.
"I saw him at the World Cup in Brazil when he played for
Argentina," Van Gaal was quoted as saying by the Daily
Express.
"He did it very well and he also played for Sporting CP. There I
analysed him. What I like is that he is physically a very strong
guy, he is a good header of the ball and his pass is very fast.
"That is what we always need, we need a high speed in our
positional game.
"I think there is great potential in him to become a very good
player for Manchester United when he improves. He can reach a
very high level because he is not fully developed yet."
Rojo has a contract with United until June 2019. Van Gaal's
team are away to CSKA Moscow in the Champions League on
Wednesday.
