Bournemouth will contest Tyrone Mings’ alleged violent conduct charge and the Football Association’s recommendation he serves a longer ban.
The 23-year-old
Cherries player and Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovicwere both charged on Monday for a pair of incidents in Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Old Trafford. First, Mings’ left boot landed on the head of the 35-year-old before the Swede’s elbow struck the defender in the face.
In announcing the charges, the FA argued that the standard three-match ban Mings would serve was “clearly insufficient”, and Press Association Sport understands Bournemouth intend to challenge the suggestion of an increased suspension.
