Michael Carrick and Bruno Fernandes risk disciplinary action from the FA after publicly questioning the consistency of officiating and VAR following their controversial 2-2 draw with Bournemouth.
Interim head coach Michael Carrick and captain Bruno Fernandes could face FA sanctions for “improper conduct” after criticizing refereeing decisions at Bournemouth.
Both men were incensed that Amad Diallo was denied a penalty for a challenge they deemed identical to the one that saw Harry Maguire penalized.
Carrick noted, “to give one and not give the other, I can’t get my head around it.”
The FA may cite a recent precedent involving Manchester City’s Rodri, who was fined £80,000 for questioning official neutrality.
Fernandes specifically targeted the lack of video intervention during the match’s key moments.
“I don’t understand is why VAR does not get involved in that situation or in the situation with Harry, either one is a penalty, or neither is a penalty,” Fernandes stated.
