The Manchester Evening News understands, though, that due to the fact United are repeat offenders now in the 2024/25 campaign – having been shown five yellows and one red card during the 3-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur – the fine this time is increased from the regular amount to £50,000. This is in spite of the fact Fernandes’ sending off that day was later rescinded by the Premier League following an appeal.
