Bruno Fernandes escapes FA punishment after incident in Man Utd defeat at Liverpool

Bruno Fernandes has escaped punishment after an incident with assistant referee Adam Nunn in Manchester United's thrashing at the hands of Liverpool.

The Manchester United captain was caught handling the official during the second half of the devastating 7-0 defeat at Anfield. The FA are able take retrospective disciplinary action if a player committed a sending-off offence that was ‘not seen’ by the match officials.

Mirror Football understands the match officials did not take any formal action for the incident. And the FA have confirmed that no action will be taken because the incident WAS spotted by referee Andy Madley and his team, who decided not to include it in their report.
