New Premier League Rules Result in Ban for Erik ten Hag

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag will not be on the touchline for the club's next game due to a one-game ban. This comes as a result of new rules implemented by the Premier League to curb dissent.

Ten Hag's Protests Lead to Yellow Card and Ban

Ten Hag received his third yellow card of the season during Saturday's 1-0 victory over Luton. The Dutchman protested a decision late in the match, resulting in the booking and subsequent touchline ban.

Reduced Bookings for Touchline Suspension

Over the summer, football authorities reduced the number of bookings required for a touchline suspension from four to three. This change means Ten Hag will be absent from the touchline when Manchester United face Everton on November 26.

Injuries a Concern for Ten Hag

While the touchline ban is a setback for Ten Hag, he has bigger concerns with two injuries sustained during the Luton match. Christian Eriksen and Rasmus Hojlund were forced off the pitch, adding to United's injury troubles.

Ten Hag Reflects on the Match

Despite the ban and injuries, Ten Hag expressed satisfaction with the team's performance. He highlighted the importance of the win and the clean sheet, while acknowledging missed opportunities to score more goals.

Overall, Ten Hag emphasized the need to secure an early lead and build on it in future matches to prevent opponents from equalizing.
