Bournemouth defender Tyrone Mings has hit out at his five match suspension.

Mings was suspended by the Football Association for standing on the head of Zlatan Ibrahimovic during Saturday's 1-1 draw at Manchester United.

Mings has reiterated that he did not intentionally tread on the United striker and revealed his disappointment and hurt at the decision.

The 23-year-old posted on Twitter: "I am extremely disappointed at the FA's decision to ban me for five matches, following what was an accidental collision with Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

"At no time was there any intentional stamp, or a movement to suggest that. My foot did not change course and at no point did I try and move my foot towards his head.

"My only focus was to get back in and defend, conduct like that is not part of my game. So for people to deem that I could intentionally stamp on a fellow professional's head is upsetting.

"It is an action that would not be acceptable in any walk of life, let alone on a football pitch, and one that would never cross my mind.

"I would like to thank AFC Bournemouth and all the club's fans for their unwavering support this week. I can't wait to get back to playing again and help the team retain our Premier League status for another season."
