In the 87th minute, the 23-year-old was shown a straight red card by referee Hațegan for pushing Celta Vigo's Guidetti in the face and sending the player to the ground.
The Ivory Coast national-teamer was not available for selection against Ajax Amsterdam in the final, and will now miss the UEFA Super Cup final against Real Madrid on August 8 and the Red Devils first Champions League clash of the forthcoming season.
