Keane Points Finger At Fernandes Over Foden’s Red Card

Manchester United legend Roy Keane has criticized Bruno Fernandes for provoking Phil Foden’s 23rd-minute red card during Manchester City’s victory over Manchester United.

In the 23rd minute of the latest edition of the Manchester Derby at Old Trafford on Sunday, Bruno Fernandes clattered into Foden, leading to the Man City star falling to the ground.

It was clear the 26-year-old did not like the challenge, as the England international proceeded to kick out at the Man Utd skipper.

Keane argued that Fernandes was the actual instigator of the violent conduct and that Foden should not have been sent off.

He told Sky Sports: “Bruno tackles him, fouls him, gives him a little boot on the floor, reacts and he’s now sent off. Bruno catches him, Foden sent off, I guess it’s classed as violent and to me, Bruno is the one who violent.

“I have to call it out, called it with Kyle Walker a few years ago when he went down after a head butt, we see violent differently. I don’t think that’s a red card for Foden, I don’t. ‘Did the referee get given a chance?’

“Foden is daft here but so is Bruno. If Bruno got sent off, we’d be saying, ‘it was a daft, a bit silly.’ Everyone’s in a union, you’ve got to look out for each other. We saw Walker a few years ago do it with a headbutt,

“Bruno has got to do better there. It’s a big game, you’ve got to look after the opposition players as well. Foden, I don’t think it’s a red card.”
