Fernandes suspended for Liverpool clash after 5th yellow card

Bruno Fernandes will miss Manchester United’s trip to Anfield next weekend after receiving his 5th yellow card of the season in a humiliating 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth earlier today.

The Red Devils’ captain was booked in the dying minutes of the game for a dissent, which means he will not feature in vital away game against bitter rivals.

It further compounds the misery at United as Erik ten Hag’s recorded their 7th League defeat this season and the team continues to linger in an unimpressive 6th place.

Fernandes has started every Premier League game for United this season, scoring five goals and racking up five assists across the top-flight and Champions League.

The Red Devils head into the Liverpool clash as heavy underdogs as pressure mounts on Erik ten Hag’s shoulders and his stricken stars.
