Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo admits that he is delighted to have been given the opportunity to sign a loan deal with Estudiantes.

Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo has acknowledged that securing the opportunity to represent Estudiantes is "a dream".

After spending time out of the starting lineup at Old Trafford, United have allowed Rojo the chance to earn regular first-team football back in his homeland.

While Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has hinted at a return for the player at a later date, the 29-year-old has suggested that he may like a prolonged spell in Argentina.

Rojo told El Intransigente: "Many things came together. I need to play, return to my level, the family insisted, my old woman told me to come back. I had many offers to go to other clubs, but what better than being at home. I hope to be on the pitch as soon as possible.

"I want to go to practice and be with the boys as soon as possible. I'm very happy. It's something I dreamed of, there was a chance and it could be done. I talked to (Juan) Sebastian (Veron) quite a lot but one day my head clicked and I decided to return. It all came together."

Rojo is bidding to earn a place in Argentina's squad for the Copa America, which is due to be staged in the summer.
