Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Tyrone Mings have been charged with alleged violent conduct by the Football Association (FA) after their clashes during Manchester United's 1-1 draw with Bournemouth on Saturday.
"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]," a statement on the FA's website read.
"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.
"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’.
"Both players have until 6pm on Tuesday 7 March 2017 to reply to their charge."
Ibrahimovic has already said he will "respect every decision" when it comes to his punishment, but it comes as a big blow to the team, as they could be without the striker for the FA Cup quarter-final against Chelsea as well as the games against Middlesbrough and West Brom in the league.
