The Portugal international received his marching orders after a reckless challenge on James Maddison yesterday. He made the slightest of contact with his studs, but it was enough to warrant a red card.

Fernandes will now be suspended for the next three league games against Aston Villa , Brentford and West Ham United. However, he will be available for the Europa League games in between those outings.

The experienced playmaker is set to travel with United for the midweek clash at Porto. He will also be available for the trip to Istanbul to face Fenerbahce following the international break next month.

United have had a poor start to the Premier League campaign and the pressure is right on Erik ten Hag's shoulders. He could be axed from the helm if the club don't win again before the internationals.
