Erik ten Hag has been hit by a touchline ban as the pressure of Manchester United\u2019s season told in a nervy 1-0 win against Premier League minnows Luton.<\/p>\n
Ten Hag received his third booking of the season after hotly disputing two late throws during eight minutes of injury-time at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
His dissent towards the officials including referee Graham Scott means the Dutchman is automatically banned for United\u2019s next Premier League game away to Everton on November 26 in a clear sign how testing things have been with the team bottom of their Champions League group after a midweek defeat to Copenhagen.<\/p>\n
Investor Sir Jim Ratcliffe is also close to buying a 25 per cent stake which will give him some control over football operations.<\/p>\n
Explaining his outburst, Ten Hag said after the win earned by defender Victor Lindelof\u2019s second-half winner: \u2018It was about a moment so clear, a throw-in, but it was the second time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag will not be on the touchline against Everton in a fortnight\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Dutch manager picked up his third booking of the season during his side’s win over Luton<\/p>\n
\u2018I was on top of where it happened and was so clear and obvious our ball, I made a remark and therefore I got booked.<\/p>\n
\u2018There is a certain point you have to accept decisions, what I should do as well.\u2019<\/p>\n
Ten Hag \u2013 whose other two cautions came in matches against Arsenal and Spurs – quipped he wouldn\u2019t fine himself because he only fines players if they get red cards and there was also huge relief that United reached the final whistle in Sir Alex Ferguson\u2019s first visit to the stadium since the death of his wife, Lady Cathy, last month.<\/p>\n
But there may be further injury problems with Christian Eriksen and Rasmus Hojlund substituted during the game and ten Hag crossing they fingers they don\u2019t join a lengthy casualty list that already includes Casemiro, Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia.<\/p>\n
Eriksen was withdrawn after 40 minutes after appearing to hurt his knee while Hojlund departed near the end with muscular discomfort.<\/p>\n
\u2018At this moment, I can\u2019t say anything about it (Hojlund) because I don\u2019t know. We do an assessment but have to wait for 24 hours to see the conclusion. Give the medical team to see what is the problem, if there is a problem.<\/p>\n
\u2018You don\u2019t want to lose any player and is the same for Christian Erisken, but this is also our season, so many injuries. We\u2019ve talked about it many times, (it affects) the routine levels in your team. Hopefully the players coming back and the new injuries are not too bad.<\/p>\n
On Eriksen, who may have twisted his knee, the manager added: \u2018He slipped but it is the same. We have to do an assessment, then we will know where we are.\u2019<\/p>\n
The silver lining is that United are now within three points off a top-four place and ten Hag feels their margin of victory should have been bigger against Luton. \u2018We have four 100 per cent chances,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n
