Man United star suspended for Aston Villa game

Despite the Portuguese international’s struggles for the Red Devils this year, Erik ten Hag has continued to start him

Despite playing the entire 90 minutes against the Hammers this evening, he won’t be able to play the next weekend because of his league-high five cautions.

Due to the most recent booking, Fernandes will be out of the league for one match. Perhaps Christian Eriksen will occupy his position and move up the field.

Compatriot Diogo Dalot would also need to exercise caution in the next matches given that he is only one caution away from being suspended.

Earlier afternoon at Old Trafford, United defeated the Hammers 1-0 in a closely contested match. They are now only one point behind fourth place after the win.

The club has improved since the season’s dismal beginning, and before the holiday break, they will attempt to qualify for the Champions League.
