Rojo: We Can Revive Premier League Title Challenge

Marcos Rojo believes Manchester United can revive their challenge for the Premier League title with victory away at Swansea on Sunday.

Jose Mourinho's side have won just one of their last seven Premier League matches, a run which has seen them drop to eighth, eight points adrift of leaders Manchester City.

United were beaten 2-1 by Fenerbahce in the Europa League on Thursday, with Mourinho accusing his players of approaching the match like a "summer friendly".

But Rojo, who started the match in Istanbul, hopes to improve his manager's mood and boost United's title chances by claiming all three points at the Liberty Stadium.

"Going to the Liberty Stadium hasn't gone too well for us in the last few seasons," the Argentina defender said. "It's a difficult place to go to.

"They are a strong team, but we need to go there with the intention of getting the three points.

"We need to keep getting the three points and victories to maintain our challenge to finish at the top of the league.

"Obviously, with the international break, you're looking at quite a long period of time before you get to the next league match.

"It can happen where you lose tempo, or perhaps the rhythm isn't quite there.

"So, before the international break, you of course always want to go out there with a solid victory before you go to join up with the international team."

Mourinho will be in the stands for the match in south Wales due to a one-match touchline ban he received for being sent to the stands during last weekend's goalless draw with Burnley. 

United will also be without Ander Herrera (suspended) and Antonio Valencia (broken arm), while fellow midfielder Paul Pogba (knee) is a doubt after being on the receiving end of a heavy challenge against Fenerbahce.
