'Shut up, big nose!' - Rojo reveals reasons behind dressing room brawl with Ibrahimovic

Marcos Rojo has revealed the reason behind his dressing room altercation with Zlatan Ibrahimovic when the pair were at Manchester United together.

Argentine defender Rojo and Swedish striker Ibrahimovic – now at Estudiantes and AC Milan, respectively – were team-mates at Old Trafford between 2016 and 2018, winning the League Cup and the Europa League together.
