Zlatan Ibrahimovic was lucky to escape a booking after grabbing Fenerbahce defender Simon Kjaer by the face during Thursday's Europa League encounter.
With Fenerbahce enjoying a 1-0 lead, the pair were involved in a shoving match as they chased the ball out of bounds, after which the Manchester United forward grabbed Kjaer by the face near the touchline.
United manager Jose Mourinho appeared to plea with the Swedish forward to let go, to protect him from a possible booking.
