The Argentina defender has not featured for Louis van Gaal's side since December 8 due to a thigh injury, but he has now revealed that he is closing in on a first-team comeback.
United face Stoke City in the Premier League on New Year's Day, before travelling to Yeovil Town in the FA Cup three days later, and Rojo – who has made 10 appearances for the club - hopes to return in time for the club's busy start to 2015.
"Certainly there are a lot of games coming quickly, one after another," he told United Review. "That's what I want, to get fit as quickly as possible so I can lend a hand to the team.
"The manager is going to want as many players as possible for this busy period. It's an important part of the season with so many games in quick succession.
"I've had the misfortune to get injured recently and I really don't like it. It's terrible to miss training and be out of the team.
"I just hope I can regain my full fitness quickly and it doesn't happen again, as it's never good being injured."
Rojo has suffered two spells on the sidelines since arriving at Old Trafford in the summer, having previously sustained a dislocated shoulder in November.
