Harry Maguire has backed Bruno Fernandes to return strongly for Man United after his sending-off in the 2-0 loss to Wolves.

The Englishman told Amazon Prime: “I haven’t spoken to Bruno yet. He’s disappointed. He’s a big player for us.

“He will get his head down and be ready when he is back from suspension. He will feel like he let the lads down but we’re in this together.

“The red card changed the game. We had control in the first half but didn’t do much with it.”

BRUNO FERNANDES saw red for the third time this season.

The Manchester United captain, 30, picked up his first yellow card in the goalless first half for a cynical trip on Wolves dangerman Matheus Cunha.

The challenge came immediately after giving possession away

And then just 90 seconds after the break, he flew into a late tackle on compatriot Nelson Semedo.

The Portuguese playmaker was clearly frustrated at giving away possession.

And his temper boiled over as he caught Semedo’s standing leg with his studs, sending the right-back tumbling to the floor.

Referee Tony Harrington deemed the poor challenge worthy of a second yellow card, subsequently brandishing the red and sending Fernandes for an early bath.

The decision could not be checked by VAR because the ref did not award a straight red.

Bruno’s red card means that he will miss the upcoming Premier League clash against Newcastle United.
