Manchester United boss, Jose Mourinho has
explained why defender Marcos Rojo was seen
eating a banana, during their 1-0 win over FC
Rostov in the Europa League on Thursday night.
Mourinho sourced for the fruit after the player
asked for it and gave it to substitute Ashley Young
to pass it on to Rojo.
Speaking afterwards, the manager told BT Sport: “I
know what is the body limits and when the body is
needing anything, anything.
“The player asks for a banana. It is not to laugh at
all. It is to respect the players and their limits, they
give everything.”
Most observers claim the banana showed how
much effort Rojo had spent in their previous game
at Stamford Bridge three days back.
Mourinho elaborated afterwards: “We have lots of
enemies. It is difficult.
“It is difficult to play Monday night with 10 men, it
is difficult to play tonight, it is difficult to play
Sunday 12 o’clock [against Middlesbrough].
“Some people will say we should play better, but
the reality is that we have lots of things going
against us. And we have to fight. The boys are
amazing boys. Probably we lose the game on
Sunday but we try our best.”
