The United captain was shown a straight red in the 42nd minute at Old Trafford.
Fernandes appeared to slip when attempting a tackle in Tottenham's half — but then raised his foot and caught Maddison on the shin in a studs-up challenge.
Referee Christopher Kavanagh immediately brandished a red card.
United trailed 1-0 at halftime after Brennan Johnson's goal in the third minute.
