Manchester United and Aston Villa players had to split apart stars Cristiano Ronaldo and Tyrone Mings during Sunday's Premier League clash.

The Red Devils were beaten 3-1 by Villa away from home.

During the second half, Ronaldo and Mings had an altercation during a corner kick, which led to both players receiving yellow cards.

During the 59th minute, the two seemed to grab each other and tangle, but they were quickly separated by the referee and other players.

The VAR did take a look at the incident to assess if a red card was merited to either player.

However, a yellow for each sufficed, with Villa going on to win the game without any more flare ups between the two teams.
