Manchester United's David Moyes: "I don't want my players diving"

Manchester United manager David Moyes says that he does not want his players diving after Ashley Young was booked for simulation earlier today.

David Moyes has said that he will speak to Ashley Young after the winger was booked for diving during Manchester United's 2-0 win over Crystal Palace earlier today.

Young was shown a yellow card after going down following a tackle from Kagisho Dikgacoi, who was sent off later in the half for another challenge on the winger.

"I don't want my players diving, I don't want anybody doing it," Sky Sports News quotes the manager as saying.

"[Dikgacoi] definitely throws his leg out but I think Ashley has put his leg into his leg. It is not what I want. Okay, it might be a penalty. But I don't think the boy made a challenge to wipe him out. Unfortunately that is the rule.

"I don't like the rule where every time it is the last man it means it is [a red card]. I thought it was harsh. If I was Ian Holloway, I would be disappointed."

The result leaves United fifth in the Premier League table.
