Manchester United skipper Bruno Fernandes has claimed that referee Chris Kavanagh made contact with him moments before he missed a penalty against Fulham.

The match, which ended in a 1-1 stalemate at Craven Cottage on Sunday, saw United miss a key opportunity to take the lead in the first half after a handball by Calvin Bassey resulted in a spot kick.

However, Fernandes failed to convert the chance, sending the ball over the crossbar as both teams headed into halftime without a goal advantage.

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.
