Fernandes Slams Referee After Martinez’s Red Card Costs United at Old Trafford

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes criticized the referee following Lisandro Martinez’s straight red card in the 56th minute. Referee Paul Tierney, backed by a VAR review, dismissed Martinez for violent conduct after an incident with Dominic Calvert-Lewin. Fernandes complained post-match: “If I talk about the referee, I’m going to get in very big trouble because the rules are applied differently for everyone.” Down to ten men, United conceded early to Noah Okafor’s first-half brace. Fernandes still produced his 17th Premier League assist to set up Casemiro’s late goal, but it wasn’t enough to avoid a historic home loss.
