Former Manchester United midfielder and captain Roy Keane has torn into current Red Devils midfielder Ashley Young following the latter’s recent antics.
England international Young has a reputation for diving, and he was at it again in the Champions League on Tuesday.
In a collision with CSKA Moscow defender Georgi Schennikov, the winger hit the ground dramatically, seeking a penalty.
The incident—which came 15 minutes before the end of the game—ultimately didn’t result in a sanction for either man. Young was let off for his blatant simulation, while the referee opted to award a goal kick rather than a penalty.
While former Aston Villa man Young wasn’t shown a yellow, he couldn’t escape a tongue lashing from ex-United midfielder Keane.
“If he’s a Manchester United player, I’m a Chinaman,” said the former Ireland international, speaking live on ITV. “It’s absolutely disgraceful.
“The senior players need to get hold of him. That shouldn’t be accepted at Manchester United.”
