6 Things Man Utd Fans Need To Know About Marcos Rojo

5. He Was Named In The Fifa World Cup Team Of The Tournament

Though he has personal issues, you cannot dispute the fact that Marcos Rojo has just enjoyed a fantastic World Cup with Argentina. The defender played all six of his country's games at the finals in Brazil, helping Albicelestes reach the final, where they finally succumbed to eventual winners Germany. In his six appearances for Argentina, Rojo formed part of a defence that kept four clean sheets throughout the tournament's run while he made 15 interceptions, won 17 tackles and completed 191 passes, therefore earning a place in the Fifa World Cup Team of the Tournament, which was put together by South American and European journalists and based on statistical data. Rojo earned a spot alongside such illustrious names as Manuel Neuer, Mats Hummels, Thiago Silva and Stefan de Vrij, which is a pleasant fact to read for Manchester United fans. Of course, his fine performances at the World Cup don't necessarily mean he will be a hit in the Premier League, but it's reasons like this why United have paid big money for him.
