MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes was sent off for the second time in as many games in the Europa League match against Porto on Thursday.
The Portugal international was dismissed for two bookable offenses at Estadio do Dragao.
Fernandes was shown a straight red for a dangerous tackle in United’s 3-0 loss against Tottenham on Sunday. But a three-match suspension was later overturned on appeal.
He was sent off in the 81st against Porto when shown a second yellow card for a high boot that caught defender Nehuen Perez.
United was trailing 3-2 when Fernandes went off, having led 2-0 inside 20 minutes.
