The FA of England overturned the red card of Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes against Tottenham – News 18

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes escaped a three-match ban after his red card in the 3-0 defeat by Tottenham was overturned.

The Portuguese midfielder was sent off by referee Chris Kavanagh for a high tackle on James Maddison during Sunday’s Old Trafford clash.

Fernandez clearly slipped before catching Maddison, who agreed the challenge did not warrant a red card.

United appealed against the decision and the Football Association (FA) upheld the wrongful dismissal claim.

In a statement on Tuesday, the FA said: “Bruno Fernandes will be available for Manchester United’s next three games following a successful wrongful dismissal claim.”

The 30-year-old will now be available to face Aston Villa, Brentford and West Ham in United’s next three Premier League games.

Fernandes’ presence is a boost for embattled United boss Erik ten Hag, who is fighting to save his job.

The Red Devils are 13th in the Premier League table having won just two of their opening six games.
