FA charges Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Tyrone Mings after Old Trafford clashes

Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Tyrone Mings have both been charged by the FA for incidents of alleged violent conduct in Saturday’s 1-1 draw between Manchester United and Bournemouth.

Cherries defender Mings stood on the head of Ibrahimovic moments before the United striker’s elbow struck the Bournemouth player at Old Trafford in two incidents not seen by referee Kevin Friend and went unpunished at the time.

Ibrahimovic faces the possibility of a three-match ban, which would see him miss United’s FA Cup trip to Chelsea and Premier League games with Middlesbrough and West Brom, while the FA has submitted a claim that a similar punishment for Mings is “clearly insufficient”.
