Ten Hag defends under-fire Onana ahead of Newcastle v Man Utd<\/h3>\n

Manchester United have a worrying Bruno Fernandes issue ahead of tonight’s daunting trip to St James’ Park to face Newcastle United. Erik ten Hag is clouded with a significant concern about his captain just four days before Chelsea visit Old Trafford in another huge Premier League game.<\/p>\n

United travel to Tyneside as the Premier League’s form team, having won five of their last six such games to move within six points of leaders Arsenal.<\/p>\n

But Newcastle have been formidable on home turf this season, putting five past Aston Villa and beating Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain 4-1.<\/p>\n

Fernandes will be crucial if United are to take anything from St James’, as he so often is as Ten Hag’s captain.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old has produced five goal contributions in as many games since his dramatic late winner against Fulham at the start of November.<\/p>\n

His latest contributions came in Istanbul in midweek, providing the assist for Alejandro Garnacho’s opener before netting a sensational long-range strike moments later.<\/p>\n

However, Fernandes may not be able to wear his heart on his sleeve as usual because he’s walking on thin ice.<\/p>\n

The Portuguese maestro has received four yellow cards in the 13 Premier League games this season, meaning he is one away from suspension.<\/p>\n

Players are handed a one-match domestic ban if they accumulate five yellow cards in the first 19 league games of the campaign.<\/p>\n

Fernandes was booked away at Tottenham Hotspur, in the next game at home against Nottingham Forest, and against Brighton and Hove Albion and Manchester City, also at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

He will need to behave himself against Newcastle. If the Red Devils skipper enters the referee’s book, he will miss Wednesday’s clash with Chelsea.<\/p>\n

Three of Fernandes’ four Premier bookings this term have been for fairly needless arguments, two of which occurred deep in stoppage time.<\/p>\n
