Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo has been praised by Louis van Gaal for his performance in Sunday's derby draw.
Rojo, 25, successfully contained Manchester City's in-form midfielder, Kevin De Bruyne, as the two clubs played out a tight 0-0 stalemate at Old Trafford.
The Argentina defender reportedly came close to leaving United in the summer after falling down the full-back pecking order, following the arrival of Matteo Darmian from Torino.
However, a long-term injury to first choice left-back, Luke Shaw, has afforded Rojo another chance to impress.
"Rojo played a very good match, not only against De Bruyne but also against Jesus Navas," said Van Gaal.
"He had very good passes and very good crosses so I am very satisfied with him.
"It is only his third game this season; he has hardly played for 90 minutes. I am very happy that at last he has the condition to play a full match."
United return to action at home against Middlesbrough on Wednesday in the last 16 of the Capital One Cup.
