Manchester United's signing of Alexis Sanchez brought one of the trickiest and skillful players in the league to Old Trafford. The move was to the delight of the Stretford End faithful and as it turns out, even more pleasing for defender Marcus Rojo.
Rojo has faced his new teammate numerous times as he took on Arsenal or Chile. As the Argentine told Inside United, this encounter usually went one way.
I have faced him a number of times, playing either against Arsenal or Chile. We always seem to have fought on the pitch so it's better we're on the same side as we always ended up kicking each other. That's my style and the way I play. I've been this way since I was a kid. I am very aggressive and emotional on the pitch.
Rojo also claimed these traits are typical of players from the continent.
I'm a very typical South American player. We're very aggressive. It is something in my blood. I'm not going to change. Alexis is a great person, now I've got to know him.
He is a fantastic player and I hope he brings his maximum level to United. He's settling in well. He's got a new house. In fact, it's the one I had when I first arrived at United.
Rojo is currently out of favour with United boss Jose Mourinho, which means his only opportunity to play alongside his former foe will be at the Aon Training Complex for the time being.
