Rojo Gets Tested
Marcos Rojo was drug tested following Manchester United’s win over Rostov after munching on a banana during the game.
The exhausted Argentinian defender – the victim of a gruelling fixture pile-up – sent Twitter into a frenzy with the snack.
United edged a dull game 1-0 to seal a 2-1 aggregate victory with most of the post-match reaction focusing on the fruit.
And speaking after the game, Rojo admitted he was selected for a random UEFA drug test.
UEFA’s timing may have been coincidental but as one cheeky journalist pointed out, excessive levels of potassium are allowed.
Sakho To Crystal Palace
The Reds centre-back joined the Eagles on Loan at the end of January - but Allardyce is unsure if a move will be made permanent
Crystal Palace boss Sam Allardyce has claimed that it will require a "big negotiation" with Liverpool to make Mamadou Sakho 's loan move permanent.
The French centre-back joined the Eagles on loan at the end of January after spending the first half of the campaign with the Reds' Under-23s.
Sakho hasn't played for the Reds since April last year, but it is believed that the Club are still hopeful of recouping close to £20m for the defender.
And Allardyce admits that discussions will only take place if Palace's Premier League future is confirmed at the end of the season.
