Bruno proposes rule change

Fernandes has now proposed a rule change to players getting booked for taking their shirt off.

The Portuguese contended that such passionate celebrations as the one displayed by Diallo should not warrant a yellow card.

"It’s part of the moment and part of being young," he argued. "This moment has to be enjoyed and I think it’s one of the rules football has to change, because you should be able to celebrate the goal, obviously with respect to other clubs, to enjoy your moment."

Meanwhile, Man United's qualification for the FA Cup semi-final saw them set up a crunch meeting with Coventry at Wembley Stadium.
