Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes will be missing for Thursday's clash with Burnley.

The Portugal international has been handed a one-match ban ahead of the game after picking up his fifth yellow card of the Premier League season during United's 1-1 draw with Newcastle on Monday.

Fernandes, 27, was shown a yellow card in the second-half of the match at St. James' Park after he argued with referee Craig Pawson about a decision.

The former Sporting midfielder played the entirety of the match but endured a torrid time after he lost possession of the ball a staggering 26 times in total.

Premier League rules state any player who earns five bookings from their side's first 19 Premier League matches will serve a one-match ban in the same competition — meaning Fernandes will miss the match at home to Burnley later in the week.
