MANCHESTER, England — Bruno Fernandes says he didn't deserve to be sent off for a dangerous challenge on James Maddison in Manchester United's Premier League defeat against Tottenham. The United captain was shown a straight red in the 42nd minute at Old Trafford on Sunday. Fernandes appeared to slip when attempting a tackle in Tottenham's half but then raised his foot and caught Maddison on the shin in a studs-up challenge. Referee Christopher Kavanagh immediately brandished a red card. Bruno agreed it was a foul but added "It's never a red card." Spurs won 3-0. Fernandes later took the unusual decision of stepping up for post-match interviews following his dismissal.
