Manchester United duo Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Marcos Rojo escape FA punishment

Man Utd duo escape FA punishment

Manchester United duo Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Marcos Rojo have escaped retrospective punishment from the Football Association following incidents during Wednesday's 2-1 win over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

Ibrahimovic was accused of elbowing Palace midfielder Yohan Cabaye - an incident that was not seen by the referee at the time.

However, three former elite referees did not unanimously agree that the incident was worthy of a retrospective red card, meaning that the Swede - who scored a late winner for the Red Devils - will not miss any game time.

Rojo, meanwhile, was shown a yellow card by referee Craig Pawson following a two-footed challenge on Wilfried Zaha but could not have that upgraded to a red card due to the incident being dealt with at the time.

Rojo's tackle came just 10 days after a similar challenge on Everton's Idrissa Gueye, neither of which the midfielder saw red for.
