Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo has admitted that playing Liverpool at Anfield is one of the toughest games of the Premier League season.
The 26-year-old was an unused substitute when the Red Devils played out an uneventful stalemate with their rivals on Merseyside in October and so it’s quite right he doesn’t hold fond memories of the iconic stadium.
And it appears the Argentine, who signed for United in a £16m deal in 2014, isn’t a big fan of travelling to London either as he singled out away ties at Crystal Palace and West Ham as particularly difficult - though he's yet to play at the Hammers' new ground, the London Stadium.
“A few stand out but I think the toughest are Crystal Palace, West Ham and also Liverpool,” he said on a Q&A video posted on Man Utd’s Twitter page.
“It’s the people, the supporters and also the team. There’s a hostility and a tangible rivalry there.”
Marcos Rojo names his @PremierLeague idol, the best goal he's seen and the toughest away ground... #MUFC
