Referees charity calls for Bruno Fernandes five-game ban after incident during Man United vs Liverpool

A referee support charity has called for Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes to face a ban after he pushed a linesman during the Reds' defeat at Liverpool on Sunday.

Fernandes and United endured a nightmare afternoon at Anfield as the Reds were thrashed 7-0 by Jurgen Klopp's side in their Premier League clash. Liverpool managed their biggest-ever competitive win against the Reds, while Erik ten Hag's side have now gone eight games without a win at Liverpool.

During the second half of the encounter, Fernandes, who was captaining United in Harry Maguire's absence, nudged the official close to the touchline after a decision went against him. There were calls for the incident to be investigated, but the Portuguese ace has escaped any punishment.
