DRAMA! A lot to cover here. First Mings steps on Ibrahimovic's head - that should be a red. From the resulting corner - Ibrahimovic retaliates with a huge swing of his elbow against Mings - that should be a red. Friend talks to the Swede, but does not send him or Mings from the field.

We're underway at Old Trafford.
The team news has been announced and we'll start with the home side.
The Bournemouth manager has been suffering with an sickness bug, which reportedly kept him up all of last night. However, he plans to take his seat in the dugout nonetheless.
Eddie Howe's men have lost their last four matches on the bounce, sliding them dangerously close to the relegation zone in 14th place.
Bournemouth have endured a miserable run of form since the turn of the year, claiming just one victory in their last 10 matches in the Premier League.
United return to action in the Premier League following their triumph in the League Cup last week over Southampton. Jose Mourinho's men can temporarily move back into the top four with a victory over the Cherries this afternoon.
Good afternoon and welcome to the live commentary of the Premier League match between Manchester United and Bournemouth at Old Trafford.
MANCHESTER UNITED (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Valencia, Jones, Rojo, Shaw; Pogba, Carrick; Mata, Rooney, Martial; Ibrahimovic.
Manchester United subs: Smalling, Lingard, Blind, Rashford, Romero, Herrera, Fellaini.
Luke Shaw comes in from the cold for United, making his first Premier League appearance since the club's goalless draw against Burnley in October.
The left-back is one of four changes that Mourinho has made from his side that won the EFL Cup. Wayne Rooney, Phil Jones and Michael Carrick also start this afternoon.
Bournemouth have made one change from their defeat to West Brom last week. Jack Wilshere drops out of the team and is replaced by Benik Afobe, who leads the line for the Cherries.
STAT ATTACK! Manchester United have won all five of their home games against Bournemouth.
STAT ATTACK! Manchester United are unbeaten in their last 16 Premier League matches. A run of form that stretches back to their defeat at the hands of Chelsea back in October.
The players are making their way out on to the pitch, so we should be underway shortly.
Somehow the scores are level at the break. Manchester United have dominated this game and took a deserved lead through Marcos Rojo, but a foul by Phil Jones on Marc Pugh allowed Josh King to equalise from the penalty spot.
The drama did not end there as first Tyrone Mings decided to step on Zlatan Ibrahimovic's head after the Swede had fallen down in the box. Referee Kevin Friend did not spot the incident. Ibra retaliated by swinging his elbow straight into the defender's face a minute later.
The referee appeared to acknowledge the incident by taking to him, but incredibly did not send the United forward off. If Bournemouth were not raging before then they were seconds later when Andrew Surman earned his second booking.
As the players emerge from the tunnel Mourinho lets his feelings known to Mings for his stamp on Ibrahimovic.
FULL-TIME: MANCHESTER UNITED 1-1 BOURNEMOUTH
WHAT AN INCREDIBLE GAME! Bournemouth somehow secure a point from this fixture despite playing the second half with 10 men. Manchester United threw everything at the Cherries, but were unable to come away with the win.
Artur Boruc is the hero for the visitors as he made a number of fine stops, including a penalty save from Zlatan Ibrahimovic - who had a game to forget.
Referee Kevin Friend was a critical figure in the contest as he did not send off Tyrone Mings, Harry Arter or Ibrahimovic, despite being solid cases for all three to be dismissed. Andrew Surman was the unlucky man that was sent off and Adam Smith was on the receiving end of a terrible penalty decision. Not a great game for the official.
Thanks for joining our commentary this afternoon. Until next time, goodbye.
