Manchester United’s Marcos Rojo is an enigma, stopping opponents with crunching tackles at one end and producing ridiculously showy pieces of skill at the other.

Argentina won the game 1-0 thanks to Gonzalo Higuain’s early strike, ensuring they made it to the knockout stages as group winners.
We’re not sure what it is about Rojo and rabonas, though. Faced with a routine right-footed clearance in a World Cup game against Bosnia, he opted to do this.
