Fenerbahce deliberately provoked Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, reveals Dick Advocaat

Fenerbahce deliberately provoked Zlatan Ibrahimovic during Manchester United's Europa League defeat on Thursday, according to Dick Advocaat.

Ibrahimovic endured yet another frustrating evening as Jose Mourinho's side suffered a 2-1 defeat at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium.

The Swedish striker, who has now not scored in his last six appearances for the Red Devils, was targeted by Fenerbahce's defenders throughout the ill-tempered match.

Ibrahimovic allowed his frustrations to boil over shortly before half-time when he grabbed Simon Kjaer by the throat after a seemingly innocuous tussle for the ball.
