LOVE RAT Manchester United star Marcos Rojo and his forgiving wife have managed to put his cheating scandal behind them– as they are set to become parents for a second time.

The Argentinian’s defender’s model wife Eugenia Lusardo, 26, revealed she was pregnant with their second child by posting a scan picture on Instagram – along with the caption “I love my baby.”

Earlier this year in March, he was pictured kissing a stunning 19-year-old blonde PR girl Chabeli Trinidad Banchero at a nightclub in Buenos Aries.

Rojo - who romped with fitness instructor Sarah Watson, 34, last year - was caught on camera smoking and kissing the neck of a blonde outside a bar.

A source said: “Rojo and Eugenia have managed to work through a really difficult patch in their relationship but have managed to put that behind them.

“Some of their friends think it isn't the best time for them to have a baby after everything that's gone on, but Rojo and Eugenia are over the moon.

“They have wiped the slate clean and are looking forward to their fresh start together.”

In December 2014, seedy Rojo –who is paid £70,000 a week, hit the headlines after embarking on an affair with Sarah Watson, 34, who he met at the Manchester United players' Christmas party, an encounter that led to a court battle.

The glamorous blonde received the threat of jail, a draconian gagging order and, she said, the outrageous and disturbing claim she was no more than a greedy blackmailer.

After the injunction was lifted, she said: 'People who look after Marcos claimed I had demanded £100,000 to keep quiet about our encounter.

“But it was a lie and they knew it. They tried to trap me.”
