  WHAT HAPPENED?

  The 30-year-old was already on a booking when he caught Wolves' Nelson Semedo late in United's clash at Molineux on Thursday. The Red Devils skipper then received a second yellow to bring up his third dismissal in all competitions this season.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Bruno was initially red carded against Tottenham in late September, before that was overturned on appeal. Despite that reprieve, he was then sent off at FC Porto in the Europa League in early October and now the Portugal international has been dismissed again, this time against Wolves. After never picking up a red card in his near five-year United career, Bruno's ill discipline is becoming an issue for the Red Devils.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  As Bruno's red card against Spurs was rescinded, the attacking midfielder will serve a one-match ban, rather than two, this time out. As a result, Bruno will only miss their home clash against Newcastle United next week, before returning against Liverpool on January 5.
