Man Utd defender Rojo: Joker Rooney great captain

Manchester United defender Marco Rojo admits skipper Wayne Rooney is a big joker inside the dressing room.

Rooney's Scouse accent has made it even harder for the Argentina defender to understand him.

"Rooney is a professional guy but he is so funny when he speaks," Rojo told The Sun.

"In fact, he jokes at me and Angel but I have to admit we don't understand his jokes - because we don't speak English.

"Soon I will understand because I want to learn the language and I am already taking lessons."
