Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has expressed regret for letting his teammates down following his red card in the match against Tottenham on Sunday, September 29.
With United trailing 1-0 in the first half, Fernandes received a red card for a high tackle on James Maddison. The Spurs capitalized on their numerical advantage, scoring two more goals after the break through Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke, ultimately leaving Old Trafford with a 3-0 victory.
This result places Erik ten Hag’s team in 12th place with just seven points from six games.
Speaking to Sky Sports after the match, Fernandes said, “I let my teammates down with one man down. I do appreciate everything they did on the pitch; it was tough for them. We didn’t start the game well. When it’s 11 vs 11, the result is on their side, then we get the situation with the red card.”
He acknowledged the efforts of his teammates, stating, “They did very well; they tried. We conceded another two goals, but it was difficult to cover all the spaces. There are many good things we can take from this. The resilience of the team was there, and I’m proud of them.”
