Manchester United needed a result against Tottenham but they were outclassed and suffered a 3-0 defeat at Old Trafford.
Bruno Fernandes has slammed the decision to send him off in Manchester United’s defeat to Tottenham, revealing James Maddison agreed it was harsh for him to be shown a red card.
United needed to get back to winning ways against Tottenham after drawing against FC Twente in midweek, but Spurs took the lead after just three minutes through Brennan Johnson.
The tone for an awful afternoon at Old Trafford was set from that moment and Fernandes received a red card at the end of the first half to add to United’s problems.
Dejan Kulusevski made it 2-0 three minutes after half-time and Dominic Solanke rubbed salt in United’s wounds when making it 3-0 from a corner in the 77th minute.
After the game, Fernandes volunteered to speak to Sky Sports and he hit out at the decision to send him off.
“I let my teammates down. I do appreciate everything they did on the pitch and obviously it was tough for them. We didn’t start the game well with 11 vs 11.”, he said.
