Marcos Rojo first reaction on Alexis's signing was “f****** hell,no!”

Marcos Rojo has revealed that he was initially concerned about Alexis Sanchez joining Manchester United, and his first reaction was “f****** hell,no!” The Argentine defender admits he feared how a previously fragile relationship would work in close proximity at Old Trafford. "Alexis is a great player, but we didn’t used to get on out on the pitch. "Every time we came up against one another, whether in internationals or when United played Arsenal, I would give him a good kicking — and he did the same to me. "On top of that I used to insult him, and he would reply in kind. "So when I learned that he was going to join United I said: 'Oh, f****** hell, no, now this guy's going to be here'." Even Jose Mourinho was aware of the bad blood between two. "I was calmly sitting in a chair watching a film when Jose Mourinho came up and gave me a tap on the shoulder. "He told me: 'We're going to sign Alexis. I don't want you smashing him up in training tomorrow'. "He burst out laughing."
