Will Bruno Fernandes miss Aston Villa clash after second Man United red card in five days?

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes will miss one game after being sent off in their Europa League clash with FC Porto on Thursday night.

Fernandes received two yellow cards in the game against the Portuguese side for a high boot. His second caution came with 10 minutes remaining as he attempted to turn the ball into the back of the net.

Dismissals for a second bookable offence result in a one-match ban, but UEFA rules do state that Fernandes will be available for the Premier League clash with Aston Villa on Sunday.

Fernandes was clearly upset by the decision to receive a second booking for the challenge as he rightly claimed he did not make contact with the Porto defender with his boot.

However, due to it being a booking, VAR was not able to step in and overrule the on-field decision.
