He gets it.
Tyrone Mings stamped on Zlatan Ibrahimovic; Zlatan Ibrahimovic elbowed Tyrone Mings. Both got away with it, and amidst all the mayhem, Andrew Surman got sent off for second yellow. Manchester United vs Bournemouth was nothing if not eventful.
An absolutely crazy 90 seconds of action #MUNBOU https://t.co/h6XVWURExL

Whilst everyone ranted and raved about the rights and wrongs of what both Mings and Ibrahimovic had done, how the officials reacted, and what the retrospective punishments may be, the Manchester United man received backing of sorts from a very surprising source – Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher.
Carragher was providing half time analysis for Sky Sports alongside his colleague Thierry Henry, and he explained that he understood the Swede’s reaction to what transpired. He said:
“Stamping on someone’s head when they’re on the floor is a disgrace, really. And listen – the Zlatan elbow, you can’t support that – BUT, you go back to when you were a kid. If someone stamps on your head when you’re on the floor, you’ll be looking for your first chance to get them back.”
“Even when you’re not a kid,” added Henry. “It doesn’t make it right, but I agree with you…”
