Man United legend Paul Scholes visited by police after breaking COVID-19 lockdown rules by throwing illegal house party
               Â
Manchester United legend, Paul Scholes was on Sunday visited by UK police officers after he threw an illegal house party on Friday July 31 for his son Arron, in Oldham, a Covid crisis area.
Â
Police visited his ÂŁ3.5million mansion after The Sun newspapers posted pictures on Sunday August 2, showing the crowded party he organized, flouting social distancing rules.
Â
 His son Arron was celebrating his 21st birthday and each party guest could have been fined £100 by police as indoor social visits have been banned across the UK over a spike in Covid-19 cases.
Â
Â
In photos published by the Sun UK, the former Manchester United midfielder Scholes, 45, posed in a “Lockdown Live” T-shirt with DJ Zac Caulcutt, while dozens of youngsters could be seen ignoring social distancing rules.
Â
Â
Another photo published by the newspaper shows Scholes's 19-year-old daughter Alicia, an England netball player, posing with a group of friends during the party.
Â
Â
Speaking on the houseparty, Local MP Debbie Abrahams said: “We all need to play our part. I urge everyone to follow the new guidelines.”
Â
According to the UK government, any area that has over 50 Covid-19 cases per 100,000 people is rated “red” by the Government and new figures show the infection rate in Oldham soared to 58.1 per 100,000 people.
Â
A spokeswoman for Greater ÂManchester Police said to reporters: “Officers attended and engaged with an Âindividual, explaining the restrictions and encouraging them to be compliant.”
