Marcos Rojo gave his exclusive first interview to MUTV, saying he has joined the world's biggest club and promises to "play each game as if it's my last"

    Welcome to Manchester United. How does it feel to be here and to be signing for this club?

Thanks very much. I'm very happy as this is a big step forward in my career and it's amazing to be joining the biggest club in the world.

What do you know about the club, the history, the players? I know a lot about the club because I always follow the Premier League and Manchester United were always my team because they were the biggest and the best. Juan Sebastian Veron played for United and was a great player and I always watched his progress. United were always my club.

There has been a lot of talk and speculation about the move. How have the last few days been for you? It's taken a while for everything to get sorted out because these transfers can be very difficult, but I'm so happy to be here at Manchester United.

How did you feel when you heard for the first time that Louis van Gaal wanted to sign you? It was unbelievable. We played against his team in the World Cup and they were excellent. When I heard that he wanted me to come here I was very happy but also very proud and very excited to get an opportunity at a club like this.

What do you think your best qualities are as a footballer? I always give everything I have in a game and I leave everything out there on the pitch. I play each game as if it could be my last. That's the most important thing in my philosophy.

What do you think you can achieve here, with the team and also on a personal level? I think the most important thing is that I keep growing as a player and keep improving. I have worked really hard for this opportunity and now I am at the biggest club in the world and I want to win trophies.

The enigmatic, entertaining Dutchman spoke about the reasons behind giving Wayne Rooney the captaincy and discussed the nine injuries within his squad ahead of the start of the new season – to which, he responded emphatically: “I am very confident. I am not nervous, you don’t see it – nine players injured and I am not nervous!”

Encouraging his new skipper to play with freedom when the season kicks off against Swansea, he urged Rooney: “Let it fly, let if fly! In the United States he scored a lot of goals and made a great amount of assists. So I want to see that Wayne.”

Manchester United are pleased to announce the club's shirt numbers for the 2014/15 Barclays Premier League season.

Summer signing Luke Shaw will wear the no.3 jersey while fellow new recruit Ander Herrera will wear 21. Adnan Januzaj has also adopted the no.11 shirt that was famously worn by Ryan Giggs throughout his illustrious Reds career. 

Anderson has been given the no.28 shirt, Nick Powell has taken no.22 and James Wilson has changed from no.46 to no.49. 

Wayne Rooney named Manchester United captain.

Louis van Gaal has announced that Wayne Rooney will become the new team captain of Manchester United, with Darren Fletcher as vice-captain.

Louis van Gaal said: "For me it's always very important the choice of captain. Wayne has shown a great attitude towards everything he does. I have been very impressed by his professionalism and his attitude to training and to my philosophy. He is a great inspiration to the younger members of the team and I believe he will put his heart and soul into his captaincy role.

"Darren Fletcher will become the vice-captain. Darren is a natural leader and will captain the team when Wayne isn't playing. Darren is a very experienced player and a very popular member of the dressing room, I know he will work well alongside Wayne."

Wayne Rooney said: "It is a huge honour for me – and for my family – to be named captain of this great club. It is a role I will perform with great pride. Team spirit has always been very high in our dressing room and I am very grateful to the manager for the faith he has shown in me. I look forward to leading the team out on Saturday at our first match of the new season."

James Wilson hopes his four-goal show in the Manchester Senior Cup final catches the attention of first-team boss Louis van Gaal.

The teenager scored twice on his Barclays Premier League debut last term after being handed a debut by interim boss Ryan Giggs and illustrated his finishing prowess by destroying Manchester City at Hyde FC's Ewen Fields.

United overcame a sluggish start to win 4-1 to lift the 129-year-old trophy for the fourth time in a row.

"Obviously the Manchester derby alone is just a great event and scoring four goals to win the cup is just a brilliant feeling," he told MUTV afterwards. "It's a great feeling to go down in history.

"Just the win alone over our greatest rivals is enough though. Obviously City won the Premier League and want to keep winning trophies and keep the Academy going. To stop them doing it tonight and getting four goals is just great.

"City were just passing it around us at the start but getting the goal just at the end of the first half is a great time to score in any game. In the second half, we changed it a bit with a different formation and dominated the game."

Hodder & Stoughton are delighted to announce that Sir Alex Ferguson will be in London for one night only to launch the paperback of My Autobiography. 

The event will take place on Sunday 26 October at the Theatre Royal in Drury Lane at 19:30pm. Tickets for the one-off event go on sale this coming Friday, 8 August at 09:00.

Sir Alex Ferguson’s autobiography was published in October 2013 and became the fastest-selling non-fiction book since records began. The paperback has been updated to offer reflections on his past year including events at Manchester United, as well as his teachings at the Harvard Business School. 

The event will reflect his revealing, endlessly entertaining and, above all, inspirational insights into football and life after retirement. Sir Alex will be discussing the highlights of his extraordinary career with presenter, actor and lifelong Manchester United supporter, James Nesbitt.
