BRUNO FERNANDES saw red for the third time this season.
The Manchester United captain picked up his first yellow card against Wolves in the first half.
And then just 90 seconds after the break, he flew into a late tackle on 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.
And the 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 dismissal followed Fernandes’ red cards against Tottenham on September 29 and then Porto on October 3 just four days later.
Fernandes became the first United player to be sent off three times in one season since Nemanja Vidic 16 years ago.
And it is still December.
Admittedly, the red card against Spurs for a high challenge on James Maddison was overturned on appeal so he did not serve a domestic suspension.
