Manchester United’s captain, Bruno Fernandes, is set to be absent from their upcoming Premier League match against Liverpool. Fernandes received his fifth yellow card of the season in their 3-0 loss to Bournemouth on Saturday, triggering an automatic one-match suspension for the Portuguese midfielder.
Bournemouth took an early lead in the fifth minute through Dominic Solanke, and two additional goals in the second half by Philip Billing and Marcos Senesi secured three points for the hosts at Old Trafford. The outcome leaves Manchester United in sixth place with a total of 27 points.
