MANCHESTER UNITED captain Bruno Fernandes got into an argument with referee Chris Kavanagh just moments before missing a penalty against Fulham – and fans were not happy about it.

Just as the 30-year-old stepped up to take the spot-kick at Craven Cottage, Kavanagh accidentally brushed past him while walking in another direction.

Fernandes was left frustrated by the incident and turned around to speak to the referee.

He then picked up the ball and continued the argument, prolonging the process.

Kavanagh was forced to step in as goalkeeper Bernd Leno walked towards the spot.

The bizarre incident resulted in a baffled Fernandes taking the penalty at least 30 seconds later.

And he blasted his effort over the crossbar.
