Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes and Diogo Dalot get their kicks with garden football during coronavirus isolation

The Portuguese pair let off some steam - until they lose their ball up a tree

The football season has come to an abrupt halt because of the worldwide coronavirus crisis, but that hasn't stopped Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes and Diogo Dalot from getting some action.

The Portuguese pair took to what appeared to be the back garden of one of the stars for a competitive kick-about which was captured on camera.

Dalot then shared the footage on his social media, captioning it: "Quarantine life. After all, who won it, @brunofernandes? Let people decide."

The Premier League players take it in turns to go in goal and fire in shots at each other with varying degrees of success.

After one successful effort, Fernandes responds with Cristiano Ronaldo's trademark celebration in front of the camera.

The fun continues until Fernandes inadvertently deflects the ball high into a tree behind the goal and then struggles to get it back.

United's players have been told to train individually away from the club training complex in response to government guidance - although Fernandes and Dalot don't appear to have taken heed of that, unless the pair are living together.

Fernandes has been a revelation since joining United from Sporting Lisbon and won the Premier League's Player of the Month award for February.

The Premier League has been suspended until April 4, at the earliest.
