Fernandes will not face any punishment for that incident. Erik ten Hag leapt to the defence of his player when speaking to the media on Wednesday.
Fernandes had put United 3-1 up against Betis just 10 minutes before he was booked. He headed in a Luke Shaw corner to open up a lead for Ten Hag’s side.
Marcus Rashford had opened the scoring with a fierce effort just six minutes into the game. Ayoze Perez, on loan from Leicester, drew Betis level with a fine effort on the half-hour mark.
But United turned up the heat after half-time, with Antony curling in a stunning effort to put his team back into the lead. Fernandes then scored his goal before Wout Weghorst rounded off the victory after missing a number of chances earlier in the game.
