The independent Regulatory Commission's sanction stemmed from proven allegations against the United coach, who was reported for using abusive language towards officials during a tense halftime.
Fletcher's incident occurred after a head injury, and despite being bandaged, the referee's insistence on his removal resulted in complaints from both the player and the coach.
The decision to impose a ban means Fletcher will miss significant matches, including Ruud van Nistelrooy's last game in charge and the initial league games for Ruben Amorim.
It raises questions about the conduct of coaches and players in high-pressure situations, especially regarding their interactions with match officials during critical moments.
