Sergio Aguero, Marcos Rojo 'Girlfriend Row' Revealed Ahead of Manchester Derby

Manchester City take on Manchester United on Sunday and one on-pitch battle that will be worth keeping an eye on is Sergio Aguero against Marcos Rojo. 

That is because, if reports that have emerged in Sunday's newspapers are to be believed, the pair really do not like each other. 

The Sunday Mirror says the Argentine pair had a massive row during the World Cup, when Rojo invited an ex-boyfriend of Aguero's girlfriend Karina Tejeda into the team's dressing room. 

The ex causing all the trouble is an Argentine pop star called Ezequiel "el Polaco" Cwirkaluk, and Aguero reportedly had to be dragged away from him when he entered the dressing room after Argentina's win over Nigeria in Brazil. 

Such is the reported animosity between Aguero and Rojo, that the City star is said to have cancelled an event with Manchester school kids this week, when he learned Rojo would also be attending. 

As the Mirror reported: 

"

The row, involving Aguero’s girlfriend, was the reason the in-form City striker pulled out of a kids' coaching session alongside United defender Rojo on Friday in the East Manchester district of Ardwick as part of the Premier League Kicks initiative.

City officials were left red-faced when Aguero refused to attend at the last minute claiming he had to pick up family members from the airport.

"Where is Sergio?" asked Rojo, before adding: "Perhaps he is a little scared."

With both players likely to be playing in similar areas during the match, there could be a few robust tackles flying in at the Etihad.
