Ibra got into it several times with Tyrone Mings, who was also charged. Ibra threw Mings to the ground, got his head stomped on by the defender and then elbowed him in the face in retaliation, with neither being ejected.
Losing Ibra would is a huge blow for United, who are stuck in sixth place in the Premier League and have upcoming league matches against Middlesbrough and West Brom.
And his first match of the ban is a huge one -- against Chelsea on Monday in the FA Cup.
Without Ibrahimovic, United may look to put Marcus Rashford up top or possibly give Wayne Rooney some minutes, neither ideal situations.
Ibra has 26 goals in 39 matches for United this season.
