Bruno red card vs FC Porto

Bruno Fernandes, the captain of Manchester United, was dismissed for the second time over five days. After receiving another red card during United's 3-0 Premier League defeat at the hands of Tottenham on Sunday, Bruno Fernandes has made matters worse. In the 82nd minute of United's Europa League match against Porto, the captain of the team received a second yellow card following a high foot.

The Portuguese player had previously been on a yellow card - additionally handed out for a high boot - when he put a boot in a bid to get on the receiving end of the cross into the area. However the Porto defender dived to head away before tumbling down grabbing his face.

Following the dismissal, United ended an absolutely horrible evening. After 20 minutes, they had led 2-0 as Diogo Costa was unable to stop goals from Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Hojlund towards the near post. However, United's awful form persisted as Porto rallied to seize the initiative.

Before summer addition Samu Omorodion headed in a goal and hammered in around the near post and made it 3-2 for the home team, Pepe drew one back. Harry Maguire, who entered the match as a late substitute, slammed a header after a brilliant cross from Christian Eriksen from the corner to rescue a point for United.

Marcus Rashford suffers injury during Porto encounter

Marcus Rashford for Manchester United faces a new injury concern after their UEFA Europa League match against Porto on Thursday night. Rashford was one of the Reds' best players, although he was replaced during the half in Portugal. After seven minutes, the England international took an effort past Diogo Costa with a cut inside move from the left.

Nevertheless, when Alejandro Garnacho had been ready to come on at the beginning of the second half it immediately became evident that the defender had not been the one with a problem next to his fitness. Erik ten Hag is going to be hoping that Rashford's injury is not serious because he did not look to be hurt before the break.
