Jose Mourinho prepares to hand out the banana
Argentine defender, Marcos Rojo provided one of the major talking
points of Manchester United's Europa League tie with Rostov - by eating a
banana on the pitch on Thursday night.
Jose Mourinho 's side progressed to the quarter-finals of the
competition with a 2-1 aggregate thanks to Juan Mata's second half
strike.
Fans were left mystified when Ashley Young was seen handing Rojo a peeled banana for him to eat while on the field of play.
Speaking afterwards, the manager admitted that the unusual sight
was down to fatigue, a factor which is likely to play an increasing role
between now and the end of the season.
Mourinho told BT Sport : "I was tired many times. I know about
the body needing anything, and the player asked for a banana. The banana
situation isn't funny at all, we have to respect a player's physical
situation.
He gives it to Ashley Young to pass on to to Rojo
"It's bad for us as all of the teams above us don't have
international football. They don't know what fatigue is. We fight until
the limits and that's what we have to do."
Mourinho elaborated afterwards: “We have lots of enemies. It is
difficult. It is difficult to play Monday night with 10 men, it is
difficult to play tonight, it is difficult to play Sunday 12 o’clock
[against Middlesbrough].

“Some people will say we should play better, but the reality is
that we have lots of things going against us. And we have to fight. The
boys are amazing boys. Probably we lose the game on Sunday but we try
our best.”
