FIFA has announced Harsh Ban for Manchester United Captain Bruno Fernandes after being sent off the second time in a row for bad conduct and tackle
Captain Bruno Fernandes of Manchester United has been sent off twice in five days.
Fernandes was disqualified in United’s 3-0 thumping by Tottenham in the Premier League on Sunday, and he has now exacerbated matters with another red card. During their Europa League match against Porto, which came out 3-3, the United skipper was awarded a second yellow card for a high foot in the 82nd minute.
Already on a yellow card—also issued for a high foot—the Portugal international was on a boot out trying to reach the end of a cross into the box. Porto defender Nehuen Perez, however, stooped to head clear and descended holding his face.
” Bruno Fernandes finds himself unsatisfied. Former Premier League goalie Paul Robinson stated on BBC Radio 5 Live: “He has gone in high with his foot and it is hazardous.” “In Fernandes’s defence he is gazing at the ball, but you leave the referee no alternative.”
