Erik ten Hag will serve a one-match touchline ban after getting his third booking of the season in Manchester United\u2019s 1-0 win over Luton.<\/p>\n
The Dutchman, who also got yellow cards in the defeats to Arsenal and Tottenham, will be forced to watch United\u2019s game against Everton on 26 November from the stands.<\/p>\n
Ten Hag was cautioned for dissent in injury time at Old Trafford against Luton for disputing the award of a throw-in.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cSo that was about a moment so clear, a throw-in, but it was the second time. I was on top of it and it was so clear and obvious our ball, it was my remark therefore I got booked.\u201d<\/p>\n
But he accepted he may have been wrong to argue, adding: \u201cThere is a certain point you have to accept decisions, what I should do as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ten Hag believes his assistants, including former England manager Steve McClaren, will cope in his absence at Goodison Park. He added: \u201cWe have a very competent coaching staff and they will take over.\u201d<\/p>\n
United face an anxious wait to see if Rasmus Hojlund and Christian Eriksen have joined their lengthy injury list after coming off against Luton.<\/p>\n
Striker Hojlund seemed to have a hamstring problem and Ten Hag said: \u201cWe do an assessment but have to wait for 24 hours to see what is the conclusion. Give them, the medical [team], 24 hours to see what is the problem, if there is a problem.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ten Hag claimed United are in a fine position in the Premier League, considering the injury problems that have interrupted their season, and feels they can make up ground on rivals when they lose players.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow we our last won four games of five games in the Premier League, which is good. We are in quite a good position if you see all the trouble we had, we are in a very good position,\u201d he explained. \u201cThat is a reason to be optimistic. Even after all the setbacks we dealt with, we are still in a position near the top four and when we start to play well and when we get it done a team is set for a couple of weeks and months [and] also other teams will get their setbacks and drop points.\u201d<\/p>\n
