		</div><p>Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Tyrone Mings have both been charged by the English Football Association for incidents of alleged violent conduct in Saturday&#8217;s 1-1 draw between Manchester United and Bournemouth.</p>
<p>Cherries defender Mings stood on the head of Ibrahimovic moments before the United striker&#8217;s elbow struck the Bournemouth player just before half-time at Old Trafford in two incidents that were not seen by referee Kevin Friend and went unpunished at the time.</p>
<p>Ibrahimovic faces the possibility of a three-match ban, which would see him miss United&#8217;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 &#8220;clearly insufficient&#8221;.</p>
<p>Both players had protested their innocence following the contest by claiming there was no intent behind their actions, with Mings telling Sky Sports he would &#8220;never&#8221; purposely stamp on anyone and Ibrahimovic claiming to BBC Sport that Mings jumped &#8220;into my elbow&#8221;.</p>
<p>Yet that was not the view of a panel of three former elite referees who reviewed the video footage and unanimously determined that both incidents were considered sending-off offenses.</p>
<p>An FA statement read: <i>&#8220;Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Tyrone Mings have both been charged with alleged violent conduct following the Manchester United versus AFC Bournemouth game on Saturday (4 March 2017).</p>
<p>&#8220;The players were involved in two separate incidents in or around the 44th minute which were not seen by the match officials at the time but caught on video.</p>
<p>&#8220;Furthermore, The FA has submitted a claim that the standard punishment that would otherwise apply for the misconduct committed by the Bournemouth defender is &#8216;clearly insufficient&#8217;.</p>
<p>&#8220;Both players have until 6pm on Tuesday 7 March 2017 to reply to their charge.&#8221;</i></p>
