Zlatan Ibrahimovic 'to avoid UEFA action over altercation with Simon Kjaer'

Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic reportedly avoids retrospective UEFA action for appearing to grab the throat of Fenerbahce defender Simon Kjaer.

Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic will reportedly not be punished by UEFA after appearing to grab the throat of Fenerbahce defender Simon Kjaer in Thursday night's Europa League game.

The former Sweden international confronted his opponent when the Dane tried to prevent him from taking a quick throw-in during the first half of United's 2-1 defeat in Istanbul.

Ibrahimovic was not penalised at the time, leading to suggestions that the 35-year-old would face retrospective punishment as referee Milorad Mazic did not seem to spot the incident.

However, according to PA journalist Simon Peach, the fourth official was close to the incident and did not take any action, meaning that Ibrahimovic has escaped a sanction.

The striker was brought on as a substitute midway through the first half after Paul Pogba limped off injured.
