Marcos Rojo believes that Angel di Maria has the ability to be as good as Lionel Messi on his day, despite his struggles in his first season at Manchester United.

Marcos Rojo has claimed that his Manchester United teammate Angel di Maria is as good as Lionel Messi when he is performing at his best.

Di Maria had an underwhelming first season with the Red Devils following his record £59.7m move from Real Madrid.

However, Rojo has insisted that the 27-year-old's struggles were down to adjusting to life in the Premier League and has backed him to rediscover his peak form next season.

He told reporters: "People forget Di Maria last season was adapting to a new league. They just saw a big transfer fee, and maybe didn't think about England being very different from Spain – it's a lot more physical.

"He's one of the best in the world and on his day can do things like Messi and Ronaldo, that's the level he's on. I'm sure this coming season we will see very special things from him."

Rojo and Di Maria are part of the Argentina squad that will play Chile in the Copa America final on Saturday.
