Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo breaks Covid-19 lockdown rules in Argentina as he smokes and plays cards with friends in video uploaded to Instagram by his brother

Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo has been filmed smoking while playing poker with friends during the coronavirus lockdown in his native Argentina.

Rojo, currently on loan at Argentine club Estudiantes, was filmed by his brother Franco, who then uploaded the clip into his Instagram account. The video was quickly deleted but not before Argentine media outlets saw it.

The 30-year-old centre-back left Old Trafford to join his boyhood club during the January transfer window but this apparent breach of discipline could land him in hot water.

The gathering of friends around Rojo looks to be a breach of Argentina's lockdown rules, which were recently extended by president Alberto Fernandez until May 10.
