Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo has revealed that Red Devils boss Jose Mourinho has ordered the Argentine and striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic to "play quietly" in training in order to prevent injuries.

Rojo and Ibrahimovic returned in United's 4-1 win over Newcastle United after suffering injuries in the club's Europa League win over Anderlecht last season.

Ibrahimovic, 36, had been expected to return from his knee injury in 2018, but the Swede made a miraculous return. Rojo also began playing again earlier than anticipated.

"[Mourinho] is always happy," the centre-back told Clarin. "He's always close to the players, he's a very happy person, he helped me a lot, he got the best out of me.

"He always tells us to play quietly in practice because with Ibra we kill each other with kicks.

"[Ibrahimovic] is an amazing character, but for those who don't know him he seems like a bighead but he's a phenomenon, he's a beast who goes forward and wants to win everything."

United defeated Brighton & Hove Albion 1-0 on Saturday to keep up the pressure on Premier League leaders Manchester City.
