Pep Guardiola was on Monday cleared to be on the touchline for the Manchester derby after the FA took minimal action over his extraordinary confrontation with Southampton winger Nathan Redmond.
Guardiola had been asked for his observations after accosting Redmond at the end of City's dramatic 2-1 win over Saints on Wednesday night.
Guardiola, who grabbed the player around the neck and appeared to push him in the chest, later admitted that he 'couldn't control himself'.

He could potentially have faced a touchline ban if the FA decided to take the matter further.
However he was only reminded of his responsibilities and will now be on the touchline for Sunday's crucial derby at Old Trafford when Manchester United will try to cut an eight-point gap on their neighbours.
Redmond confirmed that Guardiola had complimented him, but was frustrated over Southampton's negative tactics at the Etihad.
City needed a 96th minute winner from Raheem Sterling to break their opponents' resistance and extend a winning run in the Premier League that now stands at 13 games.
