Bruno Fernandes won’t be facing any disciplinary action from the FA despite his demand for an apology from Jon Moss after Manchester United’s disappointing loss to Tottenham.
Bruno won’t be punished after demand for an apology from Jon Moss
The 2-0 defeat against Spurs last Saturday left Fernandes frustrated, especially when his team was denied a penalty opportunity in the first half of the Premier League match. The incident occurred when Alejandro Garnacho’s shot hit Cristian Romero’s outstretched arm, leading to a VAR review for a potential handball. However, the on-field referee, Michael Oliver, chose to award a corner instead, letting the play continue. In the second half, Spurs managed to secure their victory with goals from Pape Sarr and a Lisandro Martinez own-goal. This marked Tottenham’s first win in the 2023/24 campaign.
The game could go another way if Man Utd was received a penalty
Bruno Fernandes demanded an apology while drawing attention to the controversy surrounding the incident involving Andre Onana and Sasa Kalajdzic. Following the match’s outcome, he expressed, “Last week, there was a lot of noise when United didn’t receive a penalty against Wolves. I’m curious to see if the same spectacle unfolds this week.” The captain of the Red Devils also added, “I’m waiting to see if Jon Moss will step into our dressing room to apologize, just like they claimed he did with the Wolves’ manager.”

Although there were speculations of potential consequences for his comments about Moss, Fernandes won’t be facing any punishment for his outspoken remarks. Nonetheless, the possibility of a suspension could bring unwelcome news for both Erik Ten Hag and the fans, given that Man United is set to face Arsenal on September 3.
The key of the game was made by penalty?
Erik ten Hag’s squad delivered a tense performance, securing a narrow 1-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Old Trafford in the previous week. In contrast, Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs engaged in an exhilarating 2-2 draw against London rivals Brentford. Approaching the Saturday clash, both United and Spurs aimed to showcase significant improvements in their gameplay. The encounter at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium proved challenging for Man United, as they suffered a tough defeat due to goals from Pape Sarr and a Lisandro Martinez own-goal, marking Ange Postecoglou’s first Premier League victory. However, the dynamics of the game could have taken a different turn if United had been granted a penalty opportunity during the goalless first half.
