Marcos Rojo has said that he is 'living the dream' following his summer move to Manchester United.

The Argentine defender, who made the switch from Sporting Lisbon after the World Cup, said that he could not stop thinking about a transfer to Old Trafford from the moment his agent alerted him of United's interest.

"It was a flash," Rojo told Argentine newspaper Ole. "I was in Portugal, my agent called me and said that Manchester United were interested.

"I immediately began to live a dream. I couldn't isolate myself, I would call him every day."

Rojo has featured six times for the Red Devils this season, although he faces a spell on the sidelines with a shoulder injury picked up in the 1-0 Manchester derby loss a fortnight ago.
