Kobbie Mainoo, Mount and Maguire Injuries
The game at Old Trafford on Sunday against Spurs will quite rightly bring a lot of bad memories to United fans, among which the visual of Kobbie Mainoo limping off to the dressing most have brought up another gust of panic among the Old Trafford faitfuls and those of us watching at home. The midfielder has manage to etch his name into the long list of great academy graduates coming out of Carrington, through an article released today the club confirmed that both Mainoo and Maguire who missed the Spurs game due to a minor knock will be available for the game against FC Porto after both players took part in the final training session before the players will fly to Portugal later. However the club also confirmed that Mason Mount missed the session as a precaution following the head wound he sustained after a collision with Tottenham's Dragusin, the good news as confirmed by the club statement is that he did not suffer a concussion therefore has a good chance of been available for Thursday's game.
United win Appeal For Fernandes Red Card
Another bad memory from the Spurs game was the red card shown to skipper Bruno Fernandes, it was the first red card of his Man United career. The decision to give Fernandes a red card was followed by a gust of disapproval from Fernandes himself who was also backed by retired refrees Dermot Gallagher and Keith Hackett. United filed an appeal to protest the decision and it was confirmed that the red card had been overturned meaning the playmaker will not miss any games due to the decision, a statement from United read "Bruno Fernandes will be available for Manchester United's next three games following a successful claim of wrongful dismissal... Fernandes was set to miss our league fixtures against Aston Villa, Brentford and West Ham but will now be available for selection following a succesful appeal".
