#2 Marcos Rojo gets lucky, again
Though United’s centre-half pairing of Phil Jones and Marcos Rojo have been rock-solid over the last few weeks, one factor that will be of concern to Mourinho and the coaching staff is Rojo’s aggression when committing to slide tackles.
The Argentine was lucky to receive only a booking after his double studs-up tackle off the ground on Everton’s Idrissa Gueye in the 1-1 draw at Goodison Park, and a similarly dangerous lunge on Wilfried Zaha in the 38th minute received the same punishment, when many onlookers felt that it warranted further action from referee Craig Pawson.
Replays showed that though contact was minimal, the pace at which Rojo flew in should have resulted in a sending-off for the centre-half.
