Marcos Rojo insists he wants to stay at Manchester United amid speculation the club could sell him before transfer deadline.

Rojo, 25, is said to have had a falling out with Louis van Gaal and the Dutchman is reportedly prepared to jettison the Argentina defender before Tuesday's 6pm deadline.

Van Gaal was left frustrated by Rojo's failure to join United on their pre-season tour in the United States and did not consider him for selection in any of The Reds' six August matches, supposedly due to a lack of fitness.

Although he has not played since Argentina's Copa America final defeat to Chile on July 4, Rojo was called up for the September friendlies with Bolivia and Mexico.

He admitted Van Gaal is a demanding manager but he is determined to prolong his United career.

"I have received offers but my idea is to stay here [United] and fight for a position because it is a great club," Van Gaal told ESPN Radio.

"I'll try to play as much as possible. I talked to Van Gaal when I returned and was upset by everything that had happened but he said he was counting on me.

"Van Gaal has a very strong personality, he demands much and is always on top of the player.

"Van Gaal has told me to compete with Daley Blind but I can also play to the side [at left-back], where I played several games last year."

Rojo played for 60 minutes in United Under-21s' win over Ajax reserves on Thursday.
