Bruno Fernandes started for Man United against Aston Villa despite being sent off against Tottenham and Porto
Bruno Fernandes started for Manchester United against Aston Villa after his ban for a red card against Tottenham last week was successfully appealed.
Fernandes was sent off for a foul on James Maddison in last weekend's dismal 3-0 defeat to Spurs. The red card was appealed and it was announced the appeal had been successful. The United captain was then sent off against Porto for a second yellow card on Thursday night. However, UEFA rules state: "As a rule, a player or team official sent off by the referee is automatically suspended for the next match in a UEFA club competition ."In the event of a serious offence, the UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body is entitled to augment this punishment, including by extending it to other competitions.
Fernandes started against Villa in what could be a crucial game in the context of Erik ten Hag's future at United. Defeat at Villa Park would mean United had lost four of their opening seven Premier League games. United opted to stick with Ten Hag in the summer despite sounding out a number of potential replacements. The option of a one-year extension in his contract was triggered meaning the Dutchman is contracted to the club until the summer of 2026.
