Referee made a host of high-profile errors, including failing to send off Tyrone Mings and Zlatan Ibrahimovic for horrific acts of violence during the brawl at Old Trafford on Saturday

KEVIN FRIEND has been ruthlessly trolled on Twitter and even had his Wikipedia page edited after his shocking performance during Manchester United vs Bournemouth.

The referee endured a shambolic 90 minutes, making blunder after blunder, with a whole host of notable errors at the end of the first half.

After finally clicking, the Cherries midfielder was shown his first ever red yet Tyrone Mings and the Swede star himself stayed on the pitch.

Mings was seen to by accident or not stamp on Zlatans head, before Ibrahimovic threw a filthy elbow into the face of the Bournemouth defender moments later.

Despite a host of further decisions going in favour of the hosts, United failed to capitalise and were held at 1-1 - to remain sixth in the Premier League.

However, the game will be most remembered for one thing... The atrocious performance of ref Friend.
