Bruno Fernandes doesn't think he should have been sent off during Manchester United's 3-0 loss at home to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
Fernandes caught James Maddison with a tackle that was deemed dangerous by referee Chris Kavanagh in the 42nd minute of the match, which United were losing by 1-0 at the time. The 30-year-old was shown a red card by Kavanagh, and United's bad day against Spurs got even worse as they were overrun by their visitors without Fernandes in the midfield.
After the match, Fernandes maintained his innocence on the offending tackle, claiming that it was his ankle that made contact with Maddison rather than the bottom of his shoe.

"Never a red card, that is my view," Fernandes told BBC Match of the Day. "I agree that it is a foul but it is never a [dangerous] 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."
