Marcos Rojo says he will look to leave Manchester United in January if he is not playing regularly.

Rojo saw a summer switch to Everton collapse, with United and the Merseyside club unable to agree upon a financial package for the defender to move.

Argentina international Rojo, who joined United from Sporting Lisbon for £16million in 2014, has fallen further down the defensive pecking order following the £80m arrival of Harry Maguire, despite Chris Smalling's loan move to Roma.

Rojo, whose five years at United have been blighted by injury, made just three starts last season and has yet to feature this term for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side.

The 29-year-old wants regular football to keep his place in Argentina boss Lionel Scaloni's squad, and said he will have to move in January if he is still being overlooked by Solskjaer.

"I had the possibility of Everton, but by decisions of the club or the manager it wasn’t possible,” said Rojo.

“Now I have to fight until December and if it doesn’t work out, I will try to leave.

“I talked to Scaloni, he told me that he was happy because in the pre-season I had played many games, that I looked good and that’s why he called me, but that I had to play.

"The qualifiers and the Copa America are coming and I want to be part of that. I don’t want to be out again, I want to exhaust all the possibilities and compete to be here.”

United are hopeful Paul Pogba, Anthony Martial and Aaron Wan-Bissaka will be fit for United's Premier League clash with Leicester a week on Saturday, but Luke Shaw remains sidelined with a hamstring problem.
