There'll be no Bruno Fernandes for Manchester United on Sunday, as they take on Aston Villa in the Premier League.
Erik ten Hag will head to Birmingham without his star midfielder, who's captained his side of late in Harry Maguire 's absence. Suspended due to picking five yellow cards before the halfway stage of the league campaign, Fernandes will see someone else take his no.10 position at Villa Park.
The only time that has happened this season was when the Red Devils suffered a 1-0 defeat at home to Real Sociedad - a result that ultimately proved fatal to their hopes of winning their Europa League group. That September night, Fred was surprisingly selected by Ten Hag to replace the rested Fernandes, while Christian Eriksen - a more natural attacking player - remained in a deep-lying role.
