TYRONE MINGS HAS defended his actions in last Saturday’s clash against Manchester United, insisting that it ‘was an accidental collision’ with Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the game at Old Trafford, rather than ‘any intentional stamp’ on his part.

The Bournemouth defender was handed a five-game ban this week for the incident, with his club subsequently calling the punishment ‘extraordinary’.

Mings has expressed his disappointment with the decision in a statement he released on Twitter.

    I play FIFA, but god it dictates player of the month awards, player of the year awards and then the player has to hold a FIFA computer game rating card with the respective presentation. Mad to think in say the bundesliga player of the month ,where the public vote takes up so much of the voting that a player like reus will always win ahead of a player from a smaller club like eggstein or stark. No one wants an eggstein upgrade
