Bruno Fernandes Has Red Card Against Spurs Rescinded
Manchester United have successfully appealed against the red card received by Bruno Fernandes in Sunday's 3-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspurs.
Fernandes was shown a straight red card in the 42nd minute by referee Chris Kavanagh for catching James Maddison on the shin with his boot when the Red Devils were already trailing by a lone goal.
The Portugal international was due to miss matches against Aston Villa, Brentford and West Ham United but will now be available for selection for the under-fire Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag.
"Never a red card - that is my view," Fernandes told BBC Match of the Day after the game. "I agree that it is a foul.
"The referee tried to tell me that as he saw it was a clear contact with the studs. No. I didn't touch him with the studs or even the foot, it was my ankle. It is a clear foul.
"If he wants to give me a yellow because they are going to go on a counter then I agree. But more than that, no. It is not the case."
Manchester United are currently 13th on the Premier League table.
