How was Felipe not sent off for Choking Manchester United Captain Bruno Fernandez 😡😡💔, this was same thing that got Casemiro banned
It looked like Felipe, a defender for Nottingham Forest, was going to get a red card during their FA Cup loss to Manchester United on Wednesday night. Late in the game, the defender got into a fight with Bruno Fernandes and grabbed the Manchester United player by the throat. Shortly after, VAR looked at what happened, but Felipe wasn’t sent off even though the event was caught on camera and looked at by the officials.
Why Manchester City vs. Manchester United has early on 3:30pm is the start time
These two teams played each other in the fifth round of the FA Cup. The winner would move on to the quarterfinals. The game was very close, and neither team really had the upper hand. However, Erik ten Hag’s team won with a late header, and they moved on to the next round. Fernandes set up the goal by sending a free kick into the Forest area, where the Brazilian player scored. And just a few seconds after Felipe made the mistake, Forest was rocked by the late goal.
Soon after United took the lead late in the game, there was a fight between Fernandes and Felipe. The Forest defender was caught on camera with his hand around the Portuguese star’s throat, but it’s not clear what started the fight. It was looked at by VAR, and Fernandes looked confused as he told his partner Alejandro Garnacho that he had been strangled.
The fact that the whole thing was clearly caught on camera makes it hard to understand why Felipe wasn’t punished. Casemiro, Wednesday’s goal maker, got in a similar situation last season when he grabbed Will Hughes by the throat at Crystal Palace. He was banned for three games for that incident. For a while before the game, Fernandes was questionable because he had been hurt, but he was able to play the whole 90 minutes. Ten Hag thinks Forest picked on him during the game because of his illness.
Erik ten Hag says Forest is after Fernandes.
The manager of Manchester United said the midfielder has a major injury.
Bruno Fernandes looks angry for Manchester United
Even though Fernandes played the whole game on Wednesday night, Ten Hag said that he has been dealing with a “very serious” injury lately. He also said that the Forest team knew this and was targeting him because of it.
“You saw Forest was targetting him, I’m not going to say what he has but it’s a serious injury and seeing how serious it was, they criticise him on social media and it’s pathetic and can’t be.”
Ten Hag also told Goal, “He has a serious injury, but he will play on Saturday [against Fulham]. He fought to be here.” Last year, he did something similar at Spurs in the semi-finals, which shows how much pain he can take. That’s a sign of a good leader, because it shows in the team.
GIVEMESPORT Key Fact: This season, referee Chris Kavanagh has shown 83 yellow cards and only one red card in 21 games.
Fernandes was seen walking away from the City Ground game, which looked like it hurt him. He is still likely to play against Manchester City on Sunday, though.
Due to his high level of availability, Fernandes has become one of the most important players at Old Trafford. He has not missed a single game for Manchester United due to injury since being signed in 2021.
