How Manchester United could line up without Ibrahimovic

The Swede is set to be handed a three-match ban, leaving Jose Mourinho looking at alternatives up front

Manchester United look set to be without 26-goal striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic for their next three domestic fixtures after he was charged on Monday for alleged violent conduct.

The Swede faces missing out on the FA Cup quarter-final clash with Chelsea and league fixtures against Middlesbrough and West Bromwich Albion after elbowing Bournemouth’s Tyrone Mings in the 1-1 draw at Old Trafford at the weekend.

Jose Mourinho’s task, should the suspension be confirmed by the FA this week, will be to find a way for his side to do without a man he has selected for all 25 Premier League games for which he has been available this term.
