Manchester United centre-back Marcos Rojo is optimistic that he will return to action in the near future.

The summer signing from Sporting Lisbon picked up an injury in training earlier this month and he has not featured in any of United's last four Premier League matches.

However, despite having expressed his frustration at being sidelined, the 24-year-old has hinted that he is likely to be available for selection soon.

"It's something you never want to go through. You always want to be out there playing on the field, helping your teammates," he told United Review.

"I've had the misfortune to get injured recently and I really don't like it. It's terrible to miss training and be out of the team. I just hope I can regain my full fitness quickly and it doesn't happen again, as it's never good being injured."

Rojo has made 10 appearances for the Red Devils this season.
