Owen on Fernandes: "He got a yellow card to avoid going to the match against Liverpool"

Former England player Michael Owen has criticised Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes, who received a fifth yellow card in the Premier League matchday 16 against Bournemouth. Thus, the Portuguese will miss the match of the 17th round against Liverpool.

- I wonder how many yellow cards Bruno Fernandes received for talking to the referees and excessive gesticulation. Perhaps he just didn't want to go to Anfield. I wouldn't have wanted to either. He needs to be more responsible. Fernandes is the captain of the team!

Bruno often gets yellow cards, especially as he rarely gets into tackles and doesn't make direct contact. To be honest, he often breaks the rules," said Michael Owen.

We would like to add that after 16 rounds, Manchester United is in 6th place with 27 points.
