Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag was in a defiant mood after being handed a touchline suspension following his team's 1-0 Premier League victory over Luton Town on Saturday.

The Dutchman was shown his third yellow card of the season as Victor Lindelof scored the only goal to earn United their second league win in a row to lift the gloom at Old Trafford after United's poor start to the campaign.

"There is a certain point you have to accept decisions, I should do as well," Ten Hag told reporters.

Ten Hag, booked for arguing about a throw-in decision late in the game, will have to watch from the stands when United travel to Everton on November 26.

"We have a very competent coaching staff and they will take over, and of course up to a certain point I can be involved," he said.

United's second successive Premier League victory gave Ten Hag and his team a bit of breathing room as defender Lindelof's rare 59th-minute goal sent their fans home happy.

"We could have made life more easy when you score goals, but I think we create many chances," Ten Hag said.

"We had to fight until the end and then it's maybe not the prettiest, but I'm happy that we created many chances."

United have now won four of their last five games in the league.

"We are in quite a good position. If you see all the trouble we had, we are in a very good position,” Ten Hag said.

Danish striker Rasmus Hojlund, who scored a brace against FC Copenhagen, went straight for treatment after Ten Hag took him off late in the game.
