So Nunez does this. Which is a yellow, he then kicks the ball away, which is a yellow, he then sarcastically claps the referee and waves a card at him, which is a yellow. Dalot wins the ball, and gets a throw in, the ref gives it the wrong way, Dalot reacts and gets a red.

This whole narrative of "£28m more would have got you Kane" really frustrates me. For starters are we now including his add-ons to the overall fee because he's an #MUFC player? It so far is £64m, not £72m, so that makes the original statement incorrect. Also, that £100m is a
