Bruno Fernandes decided to lightly kick David de Gea in the match against Brentford
Some Manchester United fans saw the funny side of Bruno Fernandes when he gently kicked team-mate David de Gea in the second half of Wednesday night's 1-0 win over Brentford at Old Trafford.
Marcus Rashford scored the only goal of the game after 27 minutes to give the Reds a much-needed win, sending them past Tottenham Hotspur and back into the top four. They were the dominant team for long periods of time in the competition. and should have won by a bigger margin. United, especially in the first half, toyed with Brentford, taking the lead by dragging them side to side. However, after halftime, the Bees, who beat United 4-0 at the Gtech Community Stadium in August, stepped up the pressure and created some equalizing opportunities, in which the best is due to the player's substitute Kevin Schade.
He was given a free pass by Ivan Toney, facing De Gea, but the Spaniard quickly shot from long distance and blocked the striker's effort. However, De Gea felt the full impact of his encounter with Schade, leaving him on his stomach and in need of medical attention.
As a member of United's medical team checked on the goalkeeper's condition, captain Fernandes drove to the scene of the incident and before bending over to check on his team-mate he decided to kick him. twice. This was clearly done ironically by the Portuguese midfielder and it was his way of telling De Gea to get up and get back into the game.
Of course, De Gea recovered quickly and finished the remainder of the game, keeping his 12th Premier League clean sheet of the season. Unsurprisingly, Fernandes' decision to shoot in the net provoked a backlash from United supporters, who nearly all saw the humorous side of midfield antics.
