Jose Mourinho: Marouane Fellaini feels his reputation led to red card in derby

This is a modal window.

Marouane Fellaini's sending off late in the second half robs Manchester United of another body as the Premier League enters the stretch run.

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho says Marouane Fellaini believes that had any other player done what he did to get sent off against Manchester City, they would not have received a red card.

Fellaini was dismissed during the closing stages of Thursday night's 0-0 Manchester derby draw at the Etihad Stadium after picking up a second yellow card for head-butting Sergio Aguero, who fell to the ground upon contact.
