MANCHESTER UNITED fans are fearing the worst for Bruno Fernandes after seeing the Premier League’s new rulebook in action.
This Premier League season is set to have more bookings than ever before due to a major clamp down on discipline.
We got a glimpse of it last weekend in the Community Shield when Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta was shown a yellow card on the touchline for demanding that Manchester City’s Rodri get booked.
New rules for this season will see officials come down hard on such behaviour from both players and managers.
And a host of stars have found themselves receiving a caution throughout the opening weekend for similar antics and dissent.
Liverpool’s Alexis Mac Allister and Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson were two of the latest to get booked for gesturing for cards during the 1-1 draw between their respective clubs today.

But with their new captain Fernandes, 28, having form for waving imaginary cards in the past, their fans are fearing for their skipper.
“Someone at Manchester United needs to be talking to Bruno Fernandes or else he’ll get booked every game,” tweeted one.
A fellow United fan commented: “Bruno Fernandes getting YC every single game I guess.”

“Yellow cards for asking for a booking this season? Bruno Fernandes you’re in trouble,” joked another.
“That new dissent rule is horrible. Bruno Fernandes will be getting a 1 game ban by GW 5 with these rules,” said another supporter.
While another added: “Bruno Fernandes gonna rack up them yellow cards this season.”
