Ruben Amorim, manager of Manchester United was seen blanking Bruno Fernandes after receiving a red card against Wolves today.
Amorim was apparently not happy with his captain after what appeared to be an unnecessary challenge that led to the sending off, according to Manchester Evening News reporter Steven Railston.

Amorim has only recently taken over at United, but he may be beginning to realize the dire situation he has found himself in with these players.
Fernandes is very talented and can be a real asset on his day, but he’s also prone to some moments of petulance like this, so it’s no surprise that Amorim is frustrated by this.
Can Ruben Amorim stop the rot at Manchester United?
This was another very bad day at the United officewith no signs that their problems are going away anytime soon.
There have been some promising moments from the team since Amorim took over, such as a 2-1 win away to rivals Manchester City, but for the most part it has not been good enough, and not so different from life with Erik ten Hag.
Amorim really needed more from their players today in what was a poor display, and an experienced leader like Fernandes really shouldn’t have allowed himself to get into that situation.
As much as this United team needs change in terms of personnel and tactics, it also seems clear that Amorim has stepped into a club with a toxic culture, and it’s unclear how easy it will be for him to help change that.
