    Mings to appeal FA charge

     

    Bournemouth plan to appeal Tyrone Mings’ FA charge of violent conduct after an alleged stamp on the head of Manchester United’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

    Mings said after Saturday’s Premier League game at Old Trafford that the stamp was accidental,and it has be confirmed that the club are backing their player on that.

    The FA will be informed later on Tuesday.

    Ibrahimovic was also hit with the same charge after allegedly catching Mings in the face at a corner moments later. Both players have been given until 6pm on Tuesday to respond to the charges.

    Deliberate elbowing and stamping are both red card offences, so would result in three-match bans if either Ibrahimovic or Mings are found guilty.

    However, the FA has outlined plans to enforce an increased ban on Mings for his offence.

    In their statement, the FA said: “The FA has submitted a claim that the standard punishment that would otherwise apply for the misconduct committed by the Bournemouth defender is ‘clearly insufficient’.”

    Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Bournemouth defender Tyrone Mings have been charged with alleged violent conduct by the Football Association following separate incidents during the Premier League game between Manchester United and Bournemouth on Saturday.

    The pair clashed shortly before half-time, with Mings seen to stamp on Ibrahimovic’s head before the striker then caught his opponent with his elbow. Neither player was dismissed by referee Kevin Friend during the game.

    A statement from the FA said the incidents “were not seen by the match officials at the time but caught on video.”

    It continued: “Furthermore, The FA has submitted a claim that the standard punishment that would otherwise apply for the misconduct committed by the Bournemouth defender is ‘clearly insufficient.’”

    Ibrahimovic and Mings have until 6 p.m. on Tuesday to reply to their respective charges.

    Ibrahimovic is United’s top goal-scorer this season with 15 goals in 25 Premier League games and 26 goals in 35 appearances in all competitions.
