Bruno Fernandes has revealed what James Maddison said to him after he was sent off during Sunday’s Premier League clash between Manchester United and Spurs.
It was an afternoon to forget for United and their captain Bruno Fernandes, who was handed a straight red in the 42nd minute for ‘serious foul play’.
Chris Kavanagh was quick to make his mind up and the on-field decision was not challenged by VAR official Peter Bankes.
But many felt the sending off was harsh after Fernandes slipped on the Old Trafford surface, just moments before making contact with Maddison’s shin.
In fact, the Portuguese midfielder expressed his frustration at Kavanagh’s decision in his post-match interview with Sky Sports.
“I don’t go in with studs… I take him with my ankle,” Fernandes said. “It’s a clear foul but never a red card, that’s my feeling.”
