Manchester United star Marcos Rojo steps into £95,000 Cadillac Escalade after dining in his training gear.
Manchester United star Marcos Rojo was evidently so peckish after Wednesday's training session, he didn't even allow himself time to get changed before heading for one of the area's finer eateries.
Jose Mourinho's men are back in training as usual after their EFL Cup triumph at the weekend as they prepare to strengthen their top four chances with a win over Premier League strugglers Bournemouth.
Rojo made sure he was well fueled for Thursday by taking a trip to Altrincham's popular Bem Brasil Restaurant, located a mere five miles from Manchester United's AON Training Complex in Carrington.

The Argentinian defender stepped into his Cadillac Escalade, worth £95,000, and drove away
The Argentinian arrived and left in his gigantic Cadillac Escalade, an all-American SUV that costs £95,000 and is not even available in right-hand drive.
To boot, it weighs almost three tons and only achieves a maximum of 21 miles-per-gallon.
But concerns over the car's performance will not be high on the list of Rojo, who earns enough to buy one Cadillac a week at Old Trafford.
Indeed, he will be much more worried about maintaining the form that has seen him become something of a staple in Mourinho's defence.
Rojo played the full 90 minutes against Southampton in Sunday's EFL Cup final and has, in fact, started nine of Manchester United's last 11 games, only finding himself on the bench for boths legs of the Europa League tie against St Etienne

Considering he was widely tipped to leave Old Trafford in the summer, it has been a remarkable turnaround for the former Sporting Lisbon star and he recently admitted that his future was in doubt when Mourinho first arrived.
'Whenever there’s a change of manager, you’re never quite sure sure whether he’s going to bring his own people in, or what his plans are,' Rojo told the EFL Cup final match day programme.
'In the summer there was a lot of talk about my future at the club - whether I was going to leave, or whether the manager liked me - but I was fortunate that the manager gave me his backing from the start.
'I trained hard, worked hard, and I knew that with the backing from the manager, when it was my turn I just had to make sure I was up to the occasion and I could fulfil what he wanted me to do.'
