Interestingly, it was Mings who benefitted back then.

Remember when Zlatan Ibrahimovic shoved his elbow into Tyrone Mings’ face during a clash with Bournemouth in 2017?
Zlatan even went on to say Mings ‘jumped into’ his elbow but eventually, the Swede was slapped with a three-match ban.
Now, in 2021, Mings has done the exact same thing to Paul Pogba as Manchester United beat Aston Villa 2-1. But what is everyone focusing on?
Rival fans and players have all joined the party and are criticising VAR for awarding Pogba a penalty. But what of Mings elbowing the midfielder, who was left with a bloodied face?

Zlatan’s action did not physically harm Mings back then but Pogba was treated so unfairly. Our players called for a VAR intervention but the moment was not even reviewed.
If Zlatan was banned for three games for elbowing Tyrone in 2017, shouldn’t we expect something similar now?
