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.

The Argentinean took a leaf out of compatriot Erik Lamela's book in his country's Copa America victory over Jamaica, delivering a first-time rabona cross that was as flashy as it was unnecessary. https://twitter.com/Rupert_Fryer/status/612379159805972480 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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thqm9T6lAXU If it works, it works.
