Mings stood on the Zlatan Ibrahimovic's head during the 1-1 draw at Old Trafford moments before he was elbowed by the Manchester United striker.
Referee Kevin Friend failed to see both incidents as the two players escaped punishment.
Ibrahimovic, 35, was yesterday dealt a three-match ban for his elbow on Mings, 23.
And now the Bournemouth defender will miss the next five games through suspension, effective immediately.
The FA tweeted: "AFC Bournemouth’s Tyrone Mings will serve a five-match suspension, following an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing today.
