Manchester United Vs AFC Bournemouth's Premier League game on Saturday was everything including naughty, fiery and combats exchanged. It was a game that saw United's talisman Zlatan Ibrahimovic in a fierce battle with AFC Bournemouth's Tyrone Mings. As a result, the FA has decided to charge them both for alleged violent conduct.
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’.
According to the rule, off the ball incidents which are not seen at the time by the match officials are referred to a panel of three former elite referees.

Each referee panel member will review the video footage independently of one another to determine whether they consider it a sending-off offense. For retrospective action to be taken, and an FA charge to follow, the decision of the panel must be unanimous.
However, both players have until 6pm on Tuesday 7 March 2017 to reply to their charge.
