Manchester United forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic denied deliberately elbowing Tyrone Mings in the 1-1 draw at Old Trafford, saying the Bournemouth defender “jumped into my elbow.” Ibrahimovic — who saw a second-half penalty saved by Artur Boruc as United failed to make the most of a series of chances — clashed with Mings at the end of the first half. Mings slid in on Wayne Rooney and then stamped on Ibrahimovic, who appeared to elbow the defender in the face at a corner seconds later. Mings has denied that he intentionally stamped on the striker. Both avoided red cards from referee…

Having earlier told BT Sport that his choice…
Liverpool put their disappointing defeat at Leicester on Monday behind them to move up to third place in the Premier League with a 3-1 home win over Arsenal, who dropped to fifth.

A further indicator of Manchester United’s progression in 2016-17 is that David de Gea is unlikely to win the club’s player of the year award this season. The Spaniard has deservedly won the Sir Matt Busby trophy in each of the past three seasons. He’s done little wrong this term, but with United raising their game and having a more attacking emphasis, there’s been less focus on De Gea. Though there are still more than two months of the season remaining, Zlatan Ibrahimovic is almost certain to grab that honour, with notable mentions for Antonio Valencia, plus De Gea’s compatriots…
