Fernandes Furious Over Referee’s “Apology-Free” Touch

Manchester United’s star midfielder Bruno Fernandes has voiced his frustration following a bizarre incident involving referee Chris Kavanagh, which Fernandes believes contributed to his costly penalty miss.

The Portuguese international failed to convert a crucial spot-kick, sending the ball high over the crossbar after what he described as a distracting bump from the official just moments before his attempt.

Bruno’s frustration wasn’t just about the miss itself, but about the lack of an apology from the referee. He stated, “[The incident] upset me because the referee didn’t apologise.”

Fernandes felt that Kavanagh’s touch, whether intentional or accidental, disrupted his concentration in a critical moment, an action he believes warranted an apology.
