Google Analytics Plugin not accepting my GA code

[MSarna-ThemeCo-2017]

My Google Analytics account provides the following code (minus my tracking ID):

<!-- Global site tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics -->
<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-MYCODE"></script>
<script>
  window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
  function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
  gtag('js', new Date());
  gtag('config', 'UA-MYCODE');
</script>

But the plugin strips out the tags in the 2nd line (with <script async scr="…) and leaves the URL which then shows at the top of my site.

Any help would be appreciated.
