Breaking News: After Manchester United Clash, Tottenham Announces James Maddison Injury For Six……………………..read more.
Bruno Fernandes has criticized the decision to send him off during Manchester United’s loss to Tottenham, revealing that even James Maddison thought the red card was harsh. United, looking to bounce back after a midweek draw against FC Twente, fell behind early when Brennan Johnson scored for Spurs just three minutes in. Fernandes’ red card at the end of the first half worsened United’s problems.
Dejan Kulusevski doubled Tottenham’s lead three minutes after the break, and Dominic Solanke made it 3-0 from a corner in the 77th minute, sealing a dismal afternoon for United. Thousands of fans left Old Trafford early, and pressure mounted on Erik ten Hag after the poor start to the season, despite the FA Cup success last summer.
After the match, Fernandes addressed the red card decision in a Sky Sports interview. He admitted he felt he let his teammates down but argued the sending-off was unfair. “It’s a clear foul, but never a red card,” Fernandes said, adding that Maddison agreed it wasn’t worthy of a sending-off. He expressed frustration that VAR didn’t intervene and suggested that similar incidents involving his teammate, Onana, weren’t punished as severely.
Reflecting on the game, Fernandes acknowledged United’s struggles even before the red card but praised the team’s resilience. He admitted to making mistakes, including a bad pass that led to Tottenham’s opening goal. Despite the result, he remained proud of his teammates’ efforts.
