Fernandes: Back-to-back red cards
Although the club's appeal has been accepted and his suspension repealed, Fernandes was shown a straight red just before halftime against Tottenham, and the numerical disadvantage doomed the Red Devils to a 3-0 defeat.
The Portugal international suffered the ignominy of an early shower in the subsequent game, in the Europa League draw against Porto, when he was shown his second yellow card in the 81st minute, which effectively ruled him out of their next game against Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce.
What Fernandes said
The former Sporting Lisbon midfielder took to social media to express his disheartedness over the incidents of the last two games.
"Tough moment as a team and personally for me, one of the hardest,” he shared. “Almost 5 years at the club with ups and downs, good and bad moments.
“Personally, I have always had challenges and adversities throughout my career and something that’s never happened was that I go silent or hide myself from responsibilities in difficult moments.
“I know it sounds cliche and most of you United fans will be tired of it, but no one is more disappointed than myself with my own moment. Even through this moment, I appreciate all of you that had positive messages of belief in me and the team."
