United are slowly getting players back to fitness but with the festive fixtures coming thick and fast.
Meanwhile, their captain has been ever-present for the Manchester team. However, he’s at the risk of missing a game for United, if he’s to get booked in his next game.
Bruno could potentially miss Liverpool clash
As per The Mirror, Fernandes is just one more yellow card away from a one-game-ban in the Premier League.
The midfielder has picked up four bookings so far this season and one more will see him miss the subsequent fixture.

This is important for United as they have important fixtures coming up and one of them is Liverpool. They face Chelsea next and after a potentially easier draw compared to other teams in Bournemouth, they face Bayern in the Champions League.
Later, they travel to Anfield to face Liverpool and then to the London Stadium to face West Ham.
Should Bruno maintain his calm and composure, he could give Ten Haag one less headache. However, given the way he reacts on the field, it would be a surprise if he doesn’t get booked.

The 29-year-old has 5 goals and 5 assists in 20 starts for United, while also picking up 6 yellow cards. The Reds are at the risk of dropping out of the Champions League.
They would need to win compulsorily against Bayern and hope either Copenhagen or Galatasaray lose.
Moreover, United would finish second if they win and the other fixture ends in a draw. But, given the form that United and Bayern, it is unlikely that the English side would take all three points.
