I said to him: "What's going on with you big nose? Shut up...": Man United defender - on his ROW with Zlatan
Marcos Rojo has revealed he had a row with Zlatan Ibrahimovic back when Sweden international was playing for Manchester United.
Argentine and Zlatan shared almost two seasons in Manchester between 2016 and 2018 and have won Europa League, Carabao Cup titles and Community Shield in their first season.
Despite sharing winning moments with each other, not everything went well between them. Rojo has told about the row that happened during the Europa League match against Rostov.
“Zlatan has a strong character, Ezequiel Lavezzi had warned me,” Rojo told Cielo Sports (via Daily Mail).
“I knew he wanted us to give him all the balls, but during a game phase I saw him ask for it and I didn't give it to him. I passed it to Paul Pogba.
“Then he started yelling at me, raising his hand, and telling me a lot of things in Spanish and English.
“I said to him: "What's going on with you big nose? Shut up..."
“I knew that if he caught me, he would kill me so the only thing for me to do was face him.
“When he entered the locker room, I directly told him to close his mouth and stop yelling.
“We started to insult each other and all our team-mates were watching us.
“And in the middle, Jose Mourinho was trying to calm us down.”
Zlatan left Manchester United in 2018 to join Los Angeles Galaxy before signing for AC Milan this January.
