Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo has stressed the importance of keeping Leicester City striker Leonardo Ulloa quiet at Old Trafford today.
The 28-year-old Argentine striker was one of the main architects of Leicester City’s shock 5-3 win over Manchester United earlier this season at the King Power Stadium.
Ulloa scored the opener for the Foxes and the fifth goal to help Leicester come back from a 3-1 down to beat the 20-time English champions, stunning Louis van Gaal's men.
And Rojo admits that they need to keep the 28-year-old quiet today if they are to stop Leicester from repeating last September’s result at Old Trafford.
The Argentine defender is aware of his compatriot’s strengths in the air and said that the defence need to be at the top of their game to stop Ulloa from creating any trouble today.

"Argentinean players always go until the end and I think that he is one of those players”, Rojo told MUTV.
"He is very strong and very good in the air.
"We will have to try and stop Leicester crossing the ball, but if the crosses do get into the danger areas, we will have to get as close to him as possible.
“We will need to control him because his aerial play is very strong."
