The Argentina international signed for United from Sporting Lisbon in August in a deal worth £16 million but has not yet featured for his new club due to delays in obtaining a visa. However, he has now been granted the all-clear to play and is relishing the chance to line up alongside fellow new arrivals such as Radamel Falcao and Angel Di Maria.
"It is a huge step forward in my career and my life and I am very happy to play for one of the best clubs in the world at the moment," Rojo told Perform.
"There are some great players [here]. We obviously need to give time so the new manager can build his team but, with the great names we have in our squad and the intelligence of the manager, I am sure many achievements will come along."
Di Maria arrived from Real Madrid for a British record fee of £59.7m, making his debut at Burnley before the international break, and Rojo is familiar with the winger from their time with the Argentina national team.
"He's got a lot of quality," the defender proclaimed. "He is very sharp and very fast so he can help a lot attacking in the second line." United - without a win from their opening three Premier League fixtures - recruited Monaco forward Falcao on loan on transfer deadline day.
"There are some good strikers in the squad," Rojo enthused, "but Falcao is always in the penalty box; he is very sharp and capable to make the most of any chance.
"I will try to find my place as soon as possible and help in every way I can so we get important trophies."
