Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Tryone Mings could face three-match ban after Battle of Old Trafford turns ugly

Manchester United's top scorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Bournemouth's Tyrone Mings are both facing three-match bans after their personal battle at Old Trafford turned ugly on Saturday.

Mings appeared to stamp on Ibrahimovic's head as he lay on the floor following a challenge at the end of the first half.

From a corner moments later, United's Swedish superstar caught his opponent on the side of the head with his elbow, leaving him groggy and requiring treatment for several minutes afterwards.

Neither player was punished by referee Kevin Friend for their unsavoury behaviour in a 1-1 draw that also saw Ibrahimovic miss a penalty, but The FA are now likely to review video evidence and bring charges.
