Zlatan Ibrahimovic 'karate kick' goal disallowed during Man United v Middlesbrough

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is known to like his martial arts.

In fact, the Swede's athleticism is one of his main strengths.

But, during the Premier League clash with Middlesbrough at Old Trafford, the Man United striker used some of his skills to put the Red Devils ahead.

Or so he thought.

But referee Lee Mason decided to rule out the effort by the ex-PSG star because of a 'high foot'.

Fair to see Lee Mason will not be Jose Mourinho's favourite person…
