Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has accused referee Chris Kavanagh of bumping into him before his missed penalty against Fulham.

The Red Devils were held to a 1-1 draw at Craven Cottage on Sunday.

They could have opened the scoring in the first half after Calvin Bassey was penalised for handling the ball in the area.

But Fernandes saw his effort fly over the bar as both sides went into the break level.

Speaking to Sky Sports after the game, Fernandes said: “I was upset. As a penalty-taker, you have your own routines, your own things that you do.

“It upset me because the referee didn’t apologise. That is what triggered me in that moment but that’s not the excuse for missing the penalty.

“I had a very bad hit on the ball. I put my foot too under the ball and that’s why it ended up going over the bar.”

United went in front through Leny Yoro, before substitute Emile Smith Rowe levelled for Fulham.
