How was Felipe not sent off for Choking Manchester United Captain Bruno Fernandez 😡😡💔, this was same thing that got Casemiro banned

Felipe, a Nottingham Forest defender, averted what appeared to be a red card during his side’s FA Cup defeat to Manchester United on Wednesday night. The defender got into a heated disagreement with Bruno Fernandes late in the game, grabbing the Manchester United midfielder by the throat. The incident was reviewed by VAR shortly after, however despite the fact that it was captured on video and examined by authorities, Felipe was not handed his marching orders.
Why Manchester City versus Manchester United earlier Kickoff time: 3:30pm
The two clubs played in the fifth round of the FA Cup, with a spot in the quarterfinals at stake. It was a closely contested match, with neither side dominating proceedings, but Erik ten Hag’s team advanced after Casemiro scored a late header to win the game. Fernandes assisted by delivering a free kick into the Forest area that the Brazilian midfielder converted. The late goal shocked Forest, and Felipe committed the foul just moments later.

Shortly after United seized the lead late in the game, Fernandes and Felipe got into an argument. While it is unclear what sparked the fight, cameras showed the Forest defender with his hand around the Portuguese star’s throat. VAR investigated the event, and Fernandes appeared puzzled as he explained and signalled to teammate Alejandro Garnacho that he had been strangled.

It’s unclear why Felipe was not punished, given how clearly the incident was captured on tape. Casemiro, Wednesday’s goalscorer, was involved in a similar circumstance last season when he grabbed Crystal Palace’s Will Hughes by the throat, and he received a three-match punishment for it. Fernandes had been a doubt heading into the game due to an injury, but he played the entire 90 minutes. Ten Hag believes Forest targeted him throughout the tie because of his health.

Erik ten Hag accused Forest of targeting Fernandes.
Manchester United manager said the midfielder is suffering with a major injury.
Bruno Fernandes is frustrated for Manchester United.
Despite playing the whole 90 minutes on Wednesday night, Ten Hag said that Fernandes had just suffered a’very significant’ injury, accusing the Forest squad of understanding this and targeting him as a result.

“You saw Forest was targetting him, I’m not going to say what he has but it’s a serious injury and seeing how serious it was, they criticise him on social media and it’s pathetic and can’t be.”

Ten Hag told Goal: “He has a bad injury, but he will play on Saturday [against Fulham]; he fought to be a part of this game. He has a high pain tolerance; last year, he did something similar at Spurs in the semi-finals, demonstrating his leadership, which is really beneficial when you are a leader because it feeds throughout the team.”

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Referee Chris Kavanagh has issued 83 yellow cards in 21 matches this season, with only one red card.

Fernandes appeared to be exhausted after the game at the City Ground, as he was spotted walking out of the stadium. However, he is still scheduled to face Manchester City on Sunday.

Fernandes has yet to miss a game for the Red Devils due to injury since joining the club in 2021, and his availability has helped him establish himself as one of the most essential players at Old Trafford.
