The players clashed several times during Saturday's Premier League game at Old Trafford but have been charged by the governing body
Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Tryone 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.
The duo tussled more than once during the Premier League match at Old Trafford and were lucky not to be sent off in the first-half.
After Marcos Rojo saw his goal cancelled out by a Joshua King penalty, the game became even more heated as it approached half-time.
Most notably, while Ibrahimovic was lying on the ground after a challenge, Mings stood on his head, though he insisted after the game that he did not mean to.
The Red Devils striker responded shortly afterwards when the two battled in the air for a cross, with the Swede elbowing Mings in the head.
"I jump, I protect myself, I jump very high, he jumps into me. I think he jumps backwards and I jump straight up and unfortunately he jumps into my elbow," was Ibrahimovic's explanation to MUTV. Meanwhile, Mings admitted he was not sure if his counterpart intended to hurt him.
In another incident in the game, Ibrahimovic threw Mings to the ground after they grappled for a while off the ball.
They escaped punishment from refree Kevin Friend, with Andrew Surman the only one to be sent off in the game, but the FA have responded by retrospectively charging both players with violent conduct.
