Manchester United look for Europa League boost after Ibrahimovic ban blow

Manchester United will have to cope without their leading marksman for their next three domestic games after Zlatan Ibrahimovic accepted his Football Association violent conduct charge. Jose Mourinho cannot include the suspended striker in his squad for Monday’s FA Cup quarter-final trip to Chelsea, or Premier League games with Middlesbrough and West Brom after the 35-year-old was punished for an incident in Saturday’s draw with Bournemouth when his elbow struck the side of Tyrone Mings’ face.
