Bruno Fernandes was compared to Harry Kane on Wednesday night after Manchester United beat Everton and it wasn’t good.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side continued their superb away form this season by beating Carlo Ancelotti’s side in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals and booking a semi-final with local rivals Manchester City.
Fernandes was also criticized for his gimmicks as he pushed on Richarlison and sent the Brazilian forward to Eric Bailly, who jumped on the ball with the defender making contact with the Everton star’s head.
The former Watford forward lay on the ground for a moment before being lifted off in a daze from a head injury.
More should be done of this Fernandes challenge, Richarlison was then coldly knocked out and fucked @ GNev2 laugh about it

Richarlison goes out with signs of a concussion after the Heavenly Commentary laughed at it and called it a “helping hand” from Fernandes. Damn disgusting

Wtf on bail and Bruno Fernandes just finished off Richarlison
Only seen a few angles but it looked like it could have been on purpose
Richarlison had no idea where he was.
Gary Neville just ignores it completely
Wtf
He’s a biased commentator#evemun

If there’s one player I’d love to punch in the face, it’s the weasel Bruno Fernandez. Dive, cheat, goofy. I don’t particularly like Richarlison either, but Fernandez almost hurt him badly.

13 days agoFernandes received no penalty for his involvement in the incident and Bailly and the referee’s failure to punish United players ended up coming back to bite the toffees.
Cavani scored the all-important opening goal in the 88th minute and Anthony Martial scored late in stoppage time to end the win for Solskjaer.
The manager and his team are hoping for a better result in this season’s semi-finals after losing to City in the same phase last season, but they may have used up all their luck on Wednesday night.
Solskjaer also lost the FA Cup and Europa League semi-finals last season and is eager to win United’s first silver since 2017.
