Bruno Fernandes had an amazing night in Old Trafford as he scored the winning penalty to take Manchester United tied at the top of the table with Liverpool, the two sides now both have 33 points and are 4 points clear of the closest competitor. Bruno as been instrumental in Manchester United’s recent success with the Portuguese star appearing next to names like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi in recent statistics.
With a player who has been in such amazing form of recent, it’s possible that sometimes his emotions can run high and today he was caught speaking to an official in a way that he shouldn’t. He’s lucky that so far it hasn’t been caught on video or else he could be facing trouble from the Premier League for abusing an official but pitch side reporters heard the player telling the linesman to “f*** off” after a decision didn’t go his way.
Fernandes unimpressed with the linesman: 'He pushed me. F**k off!' #mufc

Do you think Bruno should face some punishment for this action or will it go unpunished? Young players need to learn that officials should be respected and role models like Fernandes should be doing better to promote that.
