Ole Wants Me To Stay At Manchester United – Rojo

Argentina defender, Marcos Rojo is hoping to stay at Manchester United this summer, but has admitted that Boca Juniors are willing to buy him.

He had a poor season in the recent 2018-19, with just six appearances recorded, but Marcos believes that he still has more to offer Manchester United.

His words to El Dia, “For now I would like to stay at United.

“I spoke to the manager before the end of the season and we spoke about his plans for me.

“He said that I was in his plans, that I’m an important player and that he wanted me to return to full fitness to be able to count on me in the first team.

“It’s now time to rest and spend time with my family before returning to England.”

“[Boca Juniors manager] Nico Burdisso called me, who was a team-mate of mine from the national team,” he added.

“He called me when he took over at Boca. I wasn’t playing at that point. I thanked him but told him that my intention was to stay at United. Boca is a great team, but for now I want to keep playing in Europe.

“I’ve got three years left on my contract in England and then we’ll see. I’ve just turned 29 and I’ve got a lot left to give. I’ll come back [to Argentina] but I don’t know when.

“I’ve always said that I’m going to play for Estudiantes again and I hope that it turns out that way. To return home, be with my family and play for Estudiantes would be the cherry on the cake of my career.”

“I know that if I give my all and play regularly in England I can come back and fight for a place. I’m calm. I’m looking forward to having a rest and returning in the best shape possible.

“I spoke to him [Argentine manager Lionel Scaloni] five months ago. He said he would have me in mind as and when I was playing regularly at my club.

“I wasn’t able to achieve that and that’s the reason behind his decision. I respect him because he’s a great guy as well as a good coach. I hope they do well in the Copa America.”
