Marcos Rojo produced an encouraging attacking display from left-back in Manchester United’s 1-0 win over CSKA Moscow on Tuesday night.
In a match where Man United simply had to go for the jugular, the Argentine bombed forward against a CSKA side that rarely threatened throughout the evening.
A quick look at Rojo’s remarkable stats show how attack-minded he was: 8 shots, 2 chances created, 17 crosses and 12 take ons.
The narrow scoreline somewhat belies the attitude Louis van Gaal‘s side took into this must-win contest; they were notably more potent and incisive in attack, pinning the visitors back through a foray of onslaughts in the early stages.
Rojo, a solid but cagey left-back, epitomised United’s newly found attacking intentions with his solid performance. He linked up well with Jesse Lingard throughout the game, constantly finding his way in behind Figureira Fernandes.
