Tottenham captain Cristian Romero was shown a straight red card for the second time this season following reckless challenge on Casemiro.
Romero caught the Man United central midfielder on the ankle with a challenge in the 29th minute at Old Trafford, with the scores goalless.
The challenge left Casemiro requiring treatment, with referee Michael Oliver quickly brandishing a red card to Romero.
Romero had previously been shown a straight red card against Liverpool earlier in the campaign after kicking out Ibrahima Konate.
He was later given an additional one match ban for his behaviour after the red card.
