Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes complained to the referee after missing a penalty.
The British Daily Mail reported on the 25th (Korea time) "Bruno Fernandez expressed dissatisfaction with the referee before kicking a penalty against Fulham."Fernandez admitted that he was angry that the referee had not apologized for interfering with his routine," he reported.
Fernandez said in a post-match interview that `I was angry. Because the referee didn't apologize, and that spurred me momentarily"Of course every kicker has his own routine. But that is not a missed excuse. I just kicked the wrong ball."
In the second round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2025-2026 season, Manchester United drew 1-1 to Fulham. Manchester United, which has now fallen to 16th place in the league table with one draw and one loss, has announced a similar start to last season. One of the reasons for the draw in the match was Fernandes' missed penalty. If he scored, it was a game that could have won 2-1. Fernandes protested by swinging his arm after colliding with the referee just before the penalty kick in the match. Fernandez's ensuing shot flew futilely over the crossbar.
Gary Neville, from Manchester United, said: "The referee accidentally bumped into me a little bit. That may have unsettled Fernandes"Fernandez then hastily complained to the referee, which might have caused him to lose his focus."
However, fans immediately criticized Fernandez through social networking services (SNS). Despite the interference, he should have scored a penalty.
One fan commented "It's pathetic. Did you expect the referee to give you a yellow card for accidentally hitting you?"I whined like a child before sending a penalty kick over the crossbar. He criticized the "glass mentality that ruins soccer."
Another fan would have put it if they had focused on the penalty instead of whining and blaming the referee. Pathetic,"Gary Neville shouldn't blame the referee. Fernandez's penalty kick with a 9-iron is a problem," he said, raising the level of criticism.
Amorim expressed deep disappointment over the draw.Amorim said "We have to be much more mature as a team"I forgot how we played immediately after scoring the goal."
