Archive: Sir Alex Ferguson - I have spoken to Ashley Young on diving

Sir Alex Ferguson admits in April 2012 that he has spoken to Ashley Young over diving - though the Scot says there has been an over-reaction to the issue "because it is Manchester United".

Young - booked for diving in United's 2-0 win over Crystal Palace on Saturday - had been criticised for going down too easily in games against Aston Villa and QPR at the time, earning penalties on both occasions, and Ferguson had previously admitted he thought Young "overdid" his fall to earn a spot-kick against Villa.
