Rojo Strives For More Silverware

Marcos Rojo is targeting more silverware with Manchester United in 2017 as the Reds aim to end the year with a flourish.

The Argentinian lifted the FA Cup last summer following the extra-time win over Crystal Palace at Wembley and, with Jose Mourinho's men facing ties in three different competitions in the first couple of months of the new year, hopes are high for more glory.

After forcing his way into the side and performing superbly at centre-back, the robust defender is convinced more success is on the horizon.

"I think it's been an interesting year for me," he told MUTV. "Various things happened. I had the FA Cup win at United and then went on to the Copa America. Unfortunately, we [Argentina] weren't able to win that but it was still an important moment for me.

"Now, at this time of the season, at the end of the year, we need to finish strongly and win as many games as possible. Looking towards 2017, we must play as well as we can and, hopefully, why not win a trophy at some point."

Sunderland provide the opposition at Boxing Day and Rojo is relishing the occasion at a packed and festive Old Trafford.

"Obviously, it would be lovely to have a little rest and spend some time with my family but I understand the tradition during this time," he added. "The atmosphere is particularly special in the stadium so it's something I enjoy.

"We have to play as we usually do and be concentrated to not give them anything for free."
