MARCOS ROJO’S personal trainer has leaked the Manchester United outcast’s next destination.
The 30 year-old’s move to Boca Juniors was revealed alongside a photo of the defender showing off his impressive six-pack after a punishing gym session.

Carlos Castro, in a message on the Facebook page of La Plata gym Castro Team Competicion, said: “Marcos Rojo is happy, improving day by day and about to begin training with Boca.
“As his trainer I’m impressed at the physical capacity he has, his recovery and that extra temperament typical of a great high-performance athlete.”
A revealing PS added: “Very good Boca signing, he looks like a Boca player.”
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had confirmed the imminent exits of Rojo and unwanted goalie Sergio Romero earlier this month.
The Red Devils asked both players to find moves away ahead of their contracts expiring in the summer.
Former United midfielder Juan Sebastian Veron had appeared to pile pressure on Rojo to tempt the player back to Estudiantes, where he started his career and enjoyed a loan spell in the second half of last season.
The retired footballer, now president of Estudiantes, subsequently insisted his messages were not directed at the defender.
The future of Romero, filmed by his wife cutting his daughter’s hair earlier this week, remains less clear.

Brighton and Crystal Palace have been named as possible destinations for the outcast, who has also been linked to Boca Juniors and a move to David Beckham’s Inter Miami.
He broke cover after being given permission to return to Argentina by taking a trimmer to eldest child Jazmin’s locks.
Wife Eliana Guercio, who took a long break from social media after a controversial rant at United for refusing to let him leave the club last year, posted the video on her Instagram.
She could be overheard saying ‘perfect’ as Romero, linked in the last week to a move to Brighton, focused on the job in hand and younger sister Chloe jumped around after having her hair trimmed.
The footage was shot in Argentina, with the 33-year-old bare-chested while he got to work because the South American nation is currently in the grip of a summer heatwave.
Despite his return to his homeland, Romero’s wife recently downplayed the possibility he would sign for an Argentine team such as former club Racing.

A fan asked her earlier this month if she was going to stay in Argentina with her husband, after Racing’s president Victor Blanco claimed he would love to have the footballer back between the sticks.
She replied: “I’m here because of the pandemic.
“When all this madness calms down I want to get back with Sergio.
“No clubs in Argentina have rung, so that if someone is saying they have, they’re lying.”
