The British media Daily Star reported on the 9th (Korean time) that ‘Fernandez dived to win a penalty kick against Wigan. ‘He is receiving hate from his fans,’ the report said.
Manchester United, led by coach Eric ten Haag, won 2-0 in the round of 32 of the 2023-2024 English Football Association (FA) Cup against Wigan Athletic held at the DW Stadium in Wigan, England, on the 9th. Diogo Dalot scored in the 22nd minute of the first half and Fernandez scored in the 29th minute of the second half to win.
Fernandez was awarded a penalty kick for a foul in the 27th minute of the second half when the team was ahead 1-0. The Daily Star said, ‘Fernandez cleverly eluded Liam Shaw by pretending to shoot. Fernandez was scratched by Shaw’s foot. However, Fernandez seemed little affected. But he rolled to the ground as if he had been hit by a bomb.’ According to this media report, fans responded by saying things like, ‘It’s pathetic that Fernandez has to dive in a game like this,’ ‘He’s a clown,’ and ‘Fernandez will dive on anyone.’
Manchester United is a team that competes in the English Premier League (EPL). On the other hand, Wigan is ranked 18th in England’s League 1 (3rd Division) this season. The difference in weight classes is clear.
Meanwhile, Manchester United enters the second half of the season starting with the league home game against Tottenham on the 15th. Manchester United ranked 8th with 10 wins, 1 draw, and 9 losses (31 points) in 20 games in the first half.
