Ray Wilkins slams 'pathetic' Ashley Young dive against Real Sociedad

Ashley Young’s dive won Manchester United a penalty

Sky Sports pundit, Ray Wilkins has slammed Ashley Young for his atrocious dive in Manchester United’s Champions League game against Real Sociedad last night.

“This is pathetic,” Wilkins said. “This is as bad for me as all these over-the-top tackles we’re getting at the moment because that is a conning of the referee.

“I just wish Ashley would cut this out because he’s a good player but he’s getting a bad name.”

David Moyes, on the other hand, sided with his player and said, “I’ve seen it, and the boy certainly tugs him in the box.

“The referee is two yards away from it and decides to give it.

“All I know is he got a penalty kick from a decision; I don’t know about his reputation, but the referee is there, and he gave it.

“The referee made decisions all night. He’s the one who saw fit to award a penalty and send a player off.”
