Bruno Fernandes Sent Off Again as Manchester United Lose to Wolves
Bruno Fernandes received his third red card of the season during Manchester United's 2-0 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers, adding to United's struggles this season.
Bruno Fernandes, the captain of Manchester United, was sent off for the third time this season in a 2-0 loss to Wolverhampton Wanderers. This dismissal makes him the first United player since Nemanja Vidić in the 2008-2009 season to receive three red cards in a single campaign.
Fernandes received his first yellow card in the 18th minute for a foul on Matheus Cunha. Just two minutes into the second half, he was shown a second yellow card for a late tackle on Nélson Semedo, leading to his expulsion.
Playing with ten men for the majority of the second half, United struggled to contain Wolves. Matheus Cunha scored the first goal directly from a corner, and Hwang Hee-chan sealed the victory with a late second goal.
This loss marks United's third consecutive defeat in the Premier League, intensifying pressure on manager Ruben Amorim. Fans and analysts have raised concerns over the team's discipline and performance as United slips further down the league standings.
With this latest red card, Fernandes will miss United's upcoming match against Newcastle United. Additionally, midfielder Manuel Ugarte will also be unavailable due to suspension, leaving Amorim with a depleted squad for the crucial fixture.
