Bruno Fernandes
March 2026
Bruno Fernandes criticised the officiating after Manchester United were denied what he believed was a clear second penalty against Bournemouth. The captain argued that Amad Diallo was penalised by perception, as a similar foul later led to a spot-kick for Bournemouth. United scored first through Fernandes after Matheus Cunha won a penalty, but frustration grew when Amad was pushed in the area and play continued. Bournemouth then benefited from a comparable decision after Harry Maguire fouled Evanilson, prompting Fernandes to question VAR consistency and how smaller players are judged.
