Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has successfully avoided a ban after the club appealed against his red card from Sunday’s 3-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur. Fernandes, who was sent off in the 42nd minute for a foul on Spurs midfielder James Maddison, would have faced a three-match suspension for serious foul play. However, the appeal overturned the decision, allowing Fernandes to remain available for United’s upcoming Premier League fixtures against Aston Villa, Brentford, and West Ham.<\/p>\n
The incident, which occurred at Old Trafford, saw Fernandes slip and make contact with Maddison, catching him on the shin. After the match, Fernandes insisted it was not a red card offense, explaining that the contact was with his ankle, not his studs, and that while it was a foul, it did not warrant more than a yellow card.<\/p>\n
United’s next match is a Europa League clash with Porto on Thursday before they return to Premier League action against Aston Villa on Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
