Zlatan Ibrahimovic has apologised for the yellow card that rules him out of Manchester United's clash with Arsenal a week on Saturday, live on Sky Sports 1.

A 76th-minute tangle with Leroy Fer led to Ibrahimovic picking up his fifth yellow card of the season in Sunday's 3-1 victory at Swansea - a match in which the 35-year-old Swede scored twice.

It means he will be serving a one-game ban when the Gunners visit Old Trafford on November 19, in a game which will be live on Sky Sports 1 HD from 11.30am.

And Ibrahimovic told MUTV: "You know what? Every time I try to play my game by being strong and going into the tackles, or whatever it is, I get a yellow card.

"I don't know what the explanation was because I think I was too tired and I didn't hear him (referee Neil Swarbrick).

"It is what it is. In England, the football is hard, it's physical.

"I just have to accept it. I've got to be professional. I'm sorry I am suspended for the next game. I wish I wasn't as it's a game I really wanted to play in.
