Ibrahimovic nearly broke my arm - Heaton

The force of a Zlatan Ibrahimovic shot nearly caused Tom Heaton serious damage, according to the goalkeeper.

Tom Heaton says Zlatan Ibrahimovic nearly broke his arm with a vicious shot the goalkeeper acrobatically saved in Burnley's 0-0 draw at Manchester United.

Former United player Heaton never made a senior appearance during his eight years at the club from 2002 to 2010.

But he showed the Old Trafford faithful what they missed out on with an inspired performance on Saturday, pulling off a string of saves to deny the dominant hosts, who had Ander Herrera dismissed and manager Jose Mourinho sent to the stands.
