Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic is currently serving suspension, having accepted the charges of violent conduct leveled against him by the Football Association. His infraction was elbowing the face of AFC Bournemouth defender Tyrone Mings, in retaliation to Mings stomping on him when Ibrahimovic was down, and he’ll miss the weekend fixture against West Bromwich Albion.

We do have some much better Zlatan Ibrahimovic news to report though. His contract talks are now underway!
Zlatan Ibrahimovic revealed to the Manchester Evening News that he is in talks with the club about extending his stay in the Premier League.
“Let’s see what happens, we are talking,” Ibrahimovic said. “I have an option for another year, I want to do great as long as I’m here, so let us see, there is a lot of time. I’m enjoying being at a fantastic club, without doubts, one of the biggest clubs in the world with a great coach (Jose Mourinho).
“I know him before (from our time at Inter Milan), he’s a winner, he’s the perfect coach for this club. Being a Manchester United player, I don’t know how many people have that possibility but I am a Man United player, people wanted me here, I chose the club, I chose the best English club, that’s the way it works.”
