Manchester
derbies may have an added degree of spice with Argentina World Cup
team-mates Sergio Aguero and Marcos Rojo squaring up to each other on
November 2.
Rojo
sealed a £16million move to Manchester United from Sporting Lisbon on
Wednesday and the two World Cup finalists were said to have exchanged
angry words earlier in this summer’s tournament after Rojo invited a
friend of his, Argentina pop star El Polaco, into the dressing room
after one of their wins during the group stage.
Trouble
is that El Polaco is the former partner of another Argentine pop star,
Karina La Princesita, whom Aguero has been dating.
The two pop
singers, who are big Cumbia stars, a popular Latin-music style, split
acrimoniously last year but have a four-year-old daughter from their
relationship.
According
to Argentine paper La Gaceta, Aguero was unimpressed with Rojo inviting
the singer into the team dressing room and had angry words with his
team-mate.
Aguero
himself was previously married to Giannina Maradona, the daughter of
Diego, and they have a six-year-old son from their relationship.
Aguero
and Rojo seemed to have managed their differences through the rest of
the World Cup, with both appearing in the semi-final and final team
together, once Aguero had recovered from injury.
Nevertheless,
there may well be a degree of extra interest in the handshake between
the compatriots when the two Manchester teams meet at the Etihad
Stadium.
