Man Utd star Bruno Fernandes ‘very fortunate’ after lunge on keeper

Bruno Fernandes was lucky not to be sent off in Manchester United’s clash with Real Betis on Thursday, claims Robbie Savage. The Portugal international was only booked for a challenge on goalkeeper Claudio Bravo.

Savage was on co-commentary for the game at Old Trafford. And he claimed Fernandes was “very fortunate” not to see red.

The former midfielder claimed VAR did not recommend a review because Fernandes didn’t fully catch Bravo with his studs. Savage added: “Some referees would give that as a straight red for serious foul play.

“I just think because his foot was open here that’s why VAR hasn’t given a red card.”
