Manchester United’s manager, Erik ten Hag, is set to serve a one-match touchline suspension for accumulating three yellow cards in the current Premier League season. His latest caution occurred during the team’s 1-0 victory over Luton Town, where he expressed dissatisfaction with a throw-in decision. Consequently, Ten Hag will be absent from the sidelines during United’s upcoming clash with Everton at Goodison Park following the November international break.
Earlier in the season, he received bookings in matches against Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal. In response to questions about his absence, Ten Hag expressed confidence in the team’s capable coaching staff, stating, “We have a very competent coaching staff, and they will take over.”
Despite Ten Hag’s frustrations on Saturday afternoon, his side clung on to earn a 1-0 victory thanks to a second-half strike from Victor Lindelof, returning to winning ways after losing 4-3 at Copenhagen in the Champions League on Wednesday.

The Premier League have come down stricter on managers for their conduct during matches this season. Man City boss Pep Guardiola has already served a one-match ban for picking up three bookings, while Chelsea assistant Jesus Perez was sent off for entering the Brentford technical area in their meeting at the end of October.
New rules also allow only one member of staff to be prominently at the edge of the manager’s technical area at any given time.
