Manchester United fullback Aaron Wan-Bissaka has had the ban for his dismissal against Young Boys in the Champions League extended to two matches by a UEFA disciplinary panel.

Wan-Bissaka received a straight red card in the 35th minute of his side's shock loss earlier this month after a foul on Christopher Martins Pereira.

The full-back's mandatory one-match ban has been increased for 'rough play', meaning he will miss next month's home clash with Atalanta in addition to Wednesday night's game against Villarreal.

United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said at the time: "I can understand why he gives it. Aaron is normally a very astute tackler, one of the best in the world, but he takes a touch that goes too far. It's never a dangerous tackle because he hits him in the front of his foot.

"We saw with Harvey Elliot that you sometimes can see bad injuries, but it was never reckless or malicious. Maybe inexperience to go through without the ball, but the boy wasn't going to be injured. And it makes it difference after that with 10 men."
