He Manchester United It doesn’t pay for failure. The team’s poor sporting performance (12th, 8 points behind the leader, Liverpool) was accompanied by other bad news. Yesterday’s defeat at Old Trafford against Tottenham (0-3) left 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 on James Maddison that many are talking about.
Fernandes put his foot on the former Leicester City player’s knee to stop his run and knock him down. Previously, if you looked closely at the action, you could see the United midfielder slip before the kick. Anyway, Chris Kavanahg clearly saw it and didn’t even use VAR: red and into the locker room. Despite the explanations given by the footballer to the referee, he could not prevent the first dismissal in his career.
After the match, Bruno Fernandes put himself in front of the cameras and gave his opinion, which was contrary to the opinion 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 stood 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.
