Bruno Fernandes could find himself in hot water with the Football Association as it emerged they are poised to investigate the Manchester United star over allegations he pushed a linesman. The claims were made against the Portuguese playmaker during United’s 7-0 thrashing at the hands of Liverpool where Fernandes is accused of a physical altercation with the official in question.
Footage from the game broadcast on live TV appeared to show Fernandes push the assistant referee after reacting to a robust challenge from Trent Alexander-Arnold near the corner flag.
The Liverpool defender threw the ball at Fernandes and his complaints to the officials fell on deaf ears, and as he ran back towards the pitch, he could be seen shoving the official with his right arm.
According to The Mirror, the match officials at Anfield did not take any formal action for the incident. The FA are able take retrospective disciplinary action if a player committed a sending-off offence that was ‘not seen’ by the match officials, which appears to be the case with Fernandes.
The FA recently wrote to all clubs reminding them of their responsibilities in relation to the behaviour of participants.
