Manchester United FC Captain, Bruno Fernandes has escaped a three-match suspension following his red card in a 3-0 defeat to Tottenham in English Premier League match last weekend.
Recall that the Portugal midfielder was sent off by referee Chris Kavanagh for a high tackle on James Maddison. Fernandes was adjudged to have dangerously charged at Maddisson during Sunday’s clash at Old Trafford.
However, why feeling frustrated with the red card, Fernandes noted that the challenge did not justify a red card. This is even as clips of the incident showed Fernandes clearly slipped before catching Maddison.
Man United appealed against the decision and the English Football Association (FA) has upheld a claim of wrongful dismissal.
The decision of the FA was contained in a statement on Tuesday.
It said: “Bruno Fernandes will be available for Manchester United’s next three games. This is following a successful claim of wrongful dismissal.”
The 30-year-old will now be free to participate in Man U next three matches. The Red Devils will face Aston Villa, Brentford and West Ham in United’s next three Premier League games.
Fernandes’ availability is a boost to beleaguered United boss Erik ten Hag, who is battling to save his job.
Manchester United are 13th in the Premier League table. They have only won just two of their opening six matches, the worst stats in decades.
This is even as Man United face Porto in the Europa League match. A match they would want to win to redeem their image.
