Zlatan Ibrahimovic saw a goal disallowed in Man Utd's 2-1 win over Middlesbrough for a high boot, but was it harsh?

With the game goalless in the first half, Ibrahimovic poked home ahead of Middlesbrough goalkeeper Victor Valdes from a left-wing cross, only for Lee Mason to disallow the goal. 

Ibrahimovic, standing tall at 6ft 5in, was adjudged to have lifted his boot too high in front of Valdes, a decision which riled Jose Mourinho and the Swede.

Mourinho said after the game that his side has scored three legitimate goals in the contest, and added that if Sir Alex Ferguson was in the dugout, the scoreline would have been 3-1.

However, the Portuguese manager did not reproduce the same touchline protests that have seen him in trouble with the FA this season.

Goals from Anthony Martial and Paul Pogba eventually stole United the win at Old Trafford, but should it have been a more simple afternoon for Mourinho's men?
