Manchester United will speak to Marcos Rojo about his conduct after defender breaks lockdown rules in Argentina to smoke and play cards with friends after video is uploaded to Instagram by his brother

Manchester United will speak to Marcos Rojo after the player was filmed flouting lockdown rules in his native Argentina.

Rojo, who is on loan at Estudiantes until the end of the season, was seen playing poker and smoking with friends in a video posted on social media and later deleted by his brother Franco.

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.

A nationwide mandatory quarantine has been in place since the middle of March though some restrictions were relaxed - with people allowed to go within 500 metres of their home for exercise.
