And Farke was given his marching orders when he vented his fury .
The Whites’ chief has now been handed a suspension and been told to pay up.
A statement released by the FA reads: “Daniel Farke has been sanctioned for misconduct following the Premier League fixture between United FC and Manchester City FC on Saturday, February 28.
“It was alleged that the manager entered the field of play at full time to confront the match official/s, contrary to Law 12 of the Laws of the Game.
“Daniel Farke subsequently admitted the charge against him and accepted the standard one-match suspension and £8,000 fine.”

Assistant boss Eddie Riemer is in line to call the shots from the home dugout at Elland Road.

“I just wanted to ask him why he didn’t add any [further stoppage time] on. He didn’t speak to me and just pulled out the red card.
“To pull out a red card and embarrass me in front of the whole world, I wasn’t happy.
“Even the assistants were shocked the red card was shown. This is not how we should work with each other. I have so much respect for the referees.
“I don’t think Peter did it on purpose, he just misjudged it. I will never jog again.”
Leeds fell to within three points of the dreaded drop zone on Tuesday.
And other results elsewhere, involving fellow strugglers West Ham and Nottingham Forest, did not go their way.
They are back in Premier League action on March 15, when they make the trip to Crystal Palace.
