Zlatan Ibrahimovic has always been in the news for his fiery statements and also his on-field behaviour. The LA Galaxy forward has once again come under the microscope by the Major League Soccer for allegedly slapping LAFC forward Lee Nguyen during the match on Friday. The contest ended up with a draw and the MLS has imposed an undisclosed amount of fine on Zlatan. The former Manchester United player is free to take on Real Salt Lake in Galaxy's next game on Saturday, September 1, 2018. Zlatan trolls his manager
Nguyen spoke about the incident on Twitter and wrote, “Not too sure about the rules MLS, but I guess slapping other players is OK these days." Zlatan received his first red card earlier this summer for slapping Montreal's Michael Petrasso. Check out the video below.
