Marcos Rojo has branded Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal ‘brilliant’ and insists the Dutchman will be a success at Old Trafford.

Van Gaal endured a shaky start to life as David Moyes’ successor, winning just one of his first six games.

Back-to-back wins over West Ham and Everton have pushed United up to fourth in the Premier League table as they head into the international break.

Rojo was one of Van Gaal’s six summer signings when he arrived from Sporting Lisbon.

And the Argentina defender, who will be action against Brazil and Hong Kong this week, is confident the former Holland boss is the right man to get the best out of the players at Old Trafford.

Rojo said: “He’s brilliant. He’s always giving me advice, telling me how to improve my game, my movement.

“He’s a great manager who always wants to win and that’s the message he gets across to us. He wants the best and that’s what he demands from his team.”

Rojo was made to wait for his United debut after running in to issues with his work permit following his move from Portugal.

Since making his first appearance in the 4-0 win over QPR, he’s been an ever-present during the defeat at Leicester and the home wins over West Ham and Everton.

The 24-year-old has already been used at left-back and at centre-half as Van Gaal has tinkered with his team to compensate for injuries and suspensions.

He’ll face a fight for his place once Jonny Evans, Phil Jones and Chris Smalling return from injury, while youngsters Paddy McNair and Tyler Blackett will also add competition.

Rojo, however, is just happy to be playing in the ‘biggest league in Europe’.

He added: “It’s never good to have too many injuries, but this is a big club and there is a lot of depth and quality in the squad.

“I’m happy playing alongside all the different guys because I’m very comfortable with all of them. I’ve played with Paddy and he is a player with a big future.

“Tyler has impressed too. But I just love being on the pitch and I really don’t mind who I play with.

“It’s the biggest league in the Europe and probably the world. I’ve always loved watching Premier League football and wanted to play here.

“The football is very direct, quick and physical, which makes it attractive for the fans. I really like playing here. I’m relishing the challenge.”
