The outcome of Bruno Fernandes' red card appeal has been revealed after Manchester United's 3-0 defeat to Tottenham last weekend.

The Football Association (FA) has overturned Bruno Fernandes' three-match ban, following Manchester United's appeal against the midfielder's red card in Sunday's 3-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.

Fernandes was sent off just before halftime for a challenge on James Maddison, which replays showed was minimal and unintentional, as the Portuguese midfielder lost his footing.

United contested the VAR decision and took their case to the FA, arguing wrongful dismissal.

"Bruno Fernandes will be available for Manchester United's next three games following a successful claim of wrongful dismissal," a club statement read.

The midfielder was sent off for serious foul play during the Premier League match against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, 29 September.

Fernandes was set to miss league fixtures against Aston Villa, Brentford, and West Ham, but will now be available for selection.
