The player criticized the referee&#8217;s lack of apology after an incident involving a missed penalty.\n\nThe match, where Emile Smith Rowe equalized the score after Leny Yoro&#8217;s initial goal, saw Fernandes miss a penalty in the first half. The Portuguese player collided with referee Kavanagh while preparing to take the penalty, forcing him to repeat his routine.\n\nI was annoyed. The referee didn&#8217;t apologize. That&#8217;s what bothered me at the time, but that&#8217;s not the excuse for missing the penalty.\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a4.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F0824%2Fr1536169_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"Bruno Fernandes fall\u00f3 un penalti en la primera mitad para el Manchester United despu\u00e9s de que Chris Kavanagh se interpusiera en su carrera.\" title=\"\"><figcaption>Bruno Fernandes fall\u00f3 un penalti en la primera mitad para el Manchester United despu\u00e9s de que Chris Kavanagh se interpusiera en su carrera.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\nFernandes admitted that his shot was poor, but highlighted the lack of an apology from the referee as a factor that affected him. &#8220;I had a bad hit on the ball. I put my foot too far under the ball and that&#8217;s why it ended up going over the crossbar,&#8221; he explained.\n\nThe Manchester United still hasn&#8217;t achieved its first victory of the season, after losing at home against Arsenal the week before the match against Fulham. Fernandes didn&#8217;t hide his disappointment at letting points slip at Craven Cottage.\n\n&#8220;We can&#8217;t be satisfied with a point. We came here to win the match. We were defending very well, but they scored their goal in one of them. For us, it&#8217;s very disappointing not to win the match today,&#8221; he concluded.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United captain, expressed his discontent with referee Chris Kavanagh after the 1-1 draw against Fulham.
