Luke Shaw have revealed Marcos Rojo as the player Manchester United stars avoid during training sessions.

The Argentine has had a tough season which has seen him make just four Premier League starts after suffering recurring injury problems.

And it is understood that some of his injury setbacks have made him a no-nonsense player in training, with Shaw explaining how serious the 29-year-old takes sessions.

The England international was asked to name one player who is physically tough,Shaw responded.

"It's got to be Marcos Rojo," he told Soccer AM. "Honestly, no-one goes near him in training. He’s the sort of tough cookie in the team."

"In training, he’s probably on the floor 90% of the time, slide tackling everyone with his studs up, so everyone knows to stay away from him," he added.

The United left-back also named Paul Pogba as the most talented player in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's squad.

He said: "The complete all-round player would have to be Pogba."

Shaw has had a successful season at Old Trafford this season, playing 37 matches in all competitions, more than he has at any other season at the club.
