BRUNO FERNANDES saw red for the third time this season.
And the referee Tony Harrington deemed the poor challenge worthy of a second yellow card, subsequently brandishing the red and sending Fernandes for an early bath.
Fernandes became the first United player to be sent off three times in one season since Nemanja Vidic 16 years ago.
The dismissal followed Fernandes' red cards against Tottenham on September 29 and then Porto on October 3 just four days later.
The Manchester United captain picked up his first yellow card against Wolves in the first half.
