Ashley Young has been banned for three games after accepting a charge of violent conduct.
Referee Craig Pawson failed to spot the defender elbowing Dusan Tadic in the stomach in an off-the-ball incident in the second-half of Manchester United 's 0-0 draw with Southampton.
TV cameras picked up the incident and Young suffered the same fate as Burnley's James Tarkowski, who has just completed a three-match ban for a similar incident involving Brighton's Glenn Murray.
Young will miss the New Year's Day trip to Everton, the Emirates FA Cup tie at home to Derby County on Friday and the Premier League visit of Stoke City on 15 January.
