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
Bruno Fernandes, the captain of Manchester United, was dismissed for the second time in five days.
After receiving another red card during United’s 3-0 Premier League defeat at the hands of Tottenham on Sunday, Fernandes has made matters worse. In the 82nd minute of United’s Europa League match against Porto, which ended in a 3-3 draw, the captain of the team received a second yellow card for a high foot.
When the Portugal international pushed his boot out to try to get on the end of a cross into the box, he was already on a yellow card (also for a high foot). Nehuen Perez, a Porto defender, bent to head clear before collapsing and clutching his face.
Bruno Fernandes is not content. On BBC Radio 5 Live, veteran Premier League goalkeeper Paul Robinson observed, “He has gone in high with his foot and it is hazardous.” “In Fernandes’ defense, he is focusing on the ball, but doing so leaves the referee with no choice.”
