Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes will miss the upcoming Premier League match against Newcastle United on Monday due to suspension. He received two yellow cards in the match against Wolves on Boxing Day, resulting in an automatic one-match ban. The Portuguese midfielder is now the first Manchester United player in ten years to be sent off three times in all competitions in one season. The 30-year-old was red-carded in their 3-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur. Nonetheless, that ruling was later reversed. Fernandes was also dismissed during United’s 3-3 draw with FC Porto in the Europa League. Manuel Ugarte will be absent for the match against Newcastle due to receiving his fifth yellow card this season.
