Bournemouth to contest Tyrone Mings violent conduct charge - report

Bournemouth will contest Tyrone Mings' alleged violent conduct charge and the Football Association's recommendation that he serves a longer ban, the Press Association has reported.

Mings and Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic were charged on Monday over incidents in Saturday's 1-1 draw at Old Trafford.

The Bournemouth defender's left boot landed on the head of Ibrahimovic before the Manchester United player's elbow struck him in the face in an incident moments later.

Announcing the charges, the FA argued that the standard three-match ban was "clearly insufficient" for Mings, and the Press Association said Bournemouth intend to challenge the suggestion of an increased suspension.
