Speaking recently about his ordeal at United, the Argentine recalled how he confronted the United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for always picking Maguire over him despite the Englishman’s costly errors.
The 33-year-old while on TyC Sports said he was happy to see his compatriot, Lisandro Martinez keeping Maguire on the bench.
“I was really angry with the Manchester coach because he was putting Maguire in instead of me; thank God he finally took him out from the starting lineup for Licha Martínez,” he said.
Rojo said when he confronted Solskjaer in his office over being benched for the United captain, the manager told him that Maguire had to play because of the money they paid to bring him to the club.
