Manchester United Captain Bruno Fernandes has slammed the decision to send him off in Manchester United’s defeat to Tottenham, revealing James Maddison agreed it was harsh for him to be shown a red card.
The Portuguese midfielder believes the challenge on James Maddison which got him sent off in Sunday’s 3-0 home defeat by Tottenham was “never a red card”.
United needed to get back to winning ways against Tottenham after drawing against FC Twente in midweek, but Spurs took the lead after just three minutes through Brennan Johnson
“Obviously nobody likes to be sent off and it’s not a good feeling seeing my teammates running a lot and trying a lot to get a result because that’s what they were trying to do.
“We ended up conceding another two goals but they tried everything. Part of slipping and going in, I didn’t go into the tackle with studs and I take him with my ankle.
“It’s a clear foul but never a red card and that’s my feeling. He [Maddison] said it was a foul but never a red card. I think on the eyes of everyone you can see it’s never a red card
