Manchester United's new 16 million pounds signing Marcos Rojo's lingerie model wife has sent him to anger management sessions so that the defender does not see the red mist at Old Trafford.

Hothead defender Marcos was sent off four times and shown 20 yellow cards in the past two seasons playing for top Portuguese side Sporting Lisbon, but the Argentine's missus Eugenia Lusardo warned him that unless he cleaned up his act there would be very few clubs in the world prepared to take on his tantrums.

Two months ago Rojo agreed with Lusardo and underwent a course of temper therapy to calm him down, which was almost immediately followed by his dream move to United coming true, The Daily Star reported.

The heavily tattooed player from La Plata has had England in his veins for years and has the words 'Pride' and 'Glory' inked on his legs.

Lusardo, who models for Lisbon-based lingerie firm Dama de Copas, has a two-year-old daughter Morena with her husband.

A United source said that when the club signed Rojo there was real excitement because of his reputation as being as tough as nails, and added that they thought it would be like getting another Roy Keane or Steve Bruce.

The source said that they have heard that Rojo is a pussycat away from the game, and added that it seems the adrenalin on match day just gets him flying. The source also said that Rojo has obviously got a good wife who cares about him.
