He Manchester United It does not earn for disappointment. The team’s bad sporting performance (12th, 8 points behind the leader, Liverpool) is accompanied by other bad news. The defeat suffered yesterday at Old Trafford against Tottenham (0-3) leaves one injured (Mainoo) and one suspended (Bruno Fernades). The Portuguese was sent off with a straight red card before the break for a controversial action with James Maddison that is being talked about a lot.
Fernandes raises his foot to the knee of the former Leicester City player to stop his run and knocks him down. Before, if you look closely at the action, you can see the United midfielder slip before the kick. Be that as it may, Chris Kavanahg saw it clearly and did not even resort to VAR: red and to the locker room. Despite the explanations that the footballer gave to the referee, he could not prevent the first expulsion of his career.

After the match, Bruno Fernandes let himself go before the cameras and gave his opinion, which is diametrically opposed to that of the referee. “It was never a red card, that’s my opinion. I agree that it is a foul… yellow card? I can accept it, but it is never a foul that deserves a red card.” “Even James Maddison, when he got up, said it wasn’t a red card. If so, we have to analyze many other incidents. I don’t understand why the VAR doesn’t call the referee to review it,” he said.
