The spot kick was dispatched by Fernandes who, according to\u00a0Elyounoussi, has a habit of &#8216;whining&#8217; to the officials.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The 29-year-old was seen in an exchange with the Portuguese midfielder, which he sought to clarify the content of post-match.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I think everyone who has seen United and who has seen him knows that he is a player who is always with the referees complaining and whining,&#8217; he said.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/09\/12\/77603977-12729717-image-a-12_1699534413795.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Mohamed Elyounoussi (right) has accused the Manchester United skipper of complaining to the officials<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/09\/12\/77574963-12729717-Marcus_Rashford_was_shown_a_straight_red_card_in_the_first_half_-a-11_1699534389168.jpg\" height=\"425\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Fernandes can be seen in dialogue with the\u00a0 referee after he showed Marcus Rashford (right) a red card<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/09\/12\/77604343-12729717-image-a-13_1699534458485.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Erik ten Hag&#8217;s side fell to the bottom of their Champions League group with only two games left to play<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I tried to get him away from the referee. I said: &#8220;It\u2019s done&#8221;. It was nothing more than that. I don\u2019t like players who go forward and try to influence the referees.&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday&#8217;s tie began so positively for the away side as Rasmus Hojlund&#8217;s brace gave them a commanding 2-0 advantage.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But Copenhagen found a route back into the game following the dismissal of Marcus Rashford for serious foul play and were back on level terms before the end of a lengthy period of stoppage time through Elyounoussi and\u00a0Diogo Goncalves.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the setback, United looked confident after the break and managed to regain the lead with Fernandes&#8217;s penalty. But late efforts from\u00a0Lukas Lerage and\u00a0Roony Bardghji clinched the victory.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>United&#8217;s loss leaves them bottom of the group after four games ahead of fixtures against Galatasaray and Bayern Munich.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A dejected Fernandes was spotted with his head in his hands at the Parken Stadium. He\u00a0admitted that the mood in the dressing room was &#8216;not the best&#8217; but defended their effort in defeat.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It is difficult at the moment,&#8217; he told TNT Sports. &#8216;the mood is not the best because I think we fought so hard with ten men that even from then on it was playing against a team that plays really well on the ball, and as a part of that, many decisions went against us.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/09\/12\/77604353-12729717-image-a-14_1699534492871.jpg\" height=\"415\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Fernandes scored United&#8217;s third goal to restore their lead but was powerless to stop the Danish side from claiming a famous victory<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Today was a tough day but I think the team effort was good.

We could have done some things better, but it was difficult for us from thirty minutes on, playing with one player less.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Ten Hag&#8217;s side next face a trip to Turkey in matchday five knowing another loss will end their knockout round qualification hopes. However, victory in their final two games should be enough to grab a spot in the top two and Fernandes revealed that belief remains within the camp of doing just that.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Even before this game, that was still the belief: to win the last three games of the group stage,&#8217; He added. &#8216;And now we have to.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;We have to win them.
