He will now be prohibited from being on the touchline for United’s trip to Everton on November 26 following the international break.
Yellow and red cards for managers and technical area occupants were introduced to the top flight in 2019.
Rules for technical area occupants can also see a two-match suspension for eight yellow cards, and a three-match suspension for 12 yellow cards.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola was forced to watch his side’s 2-1 defeat at Wolverhampton Wanderers in September from the stands after picking up three cautions himself.
