David Moyes defended Ashley Young after the Manchester United winger was involved in a new dive row against Real Sociedad on Wednesday.

Young went to ground theatrically during United's 0-0 draw in their UEFA Champions League Group A clash in Spain, earning a penalty that Robin van Persie could only strike against a post.

Replays showed minimal contact from Markel Bergara - who was booked for his apparent indiscretion - and Young was castigated by Sky Sports pundit Ray Wilkins.

"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."

United boss Moyes warned Young about diving earlier this season but adopted a more defensive tone after the whistle in San Sebastian.

"I've seen it and the boy certainly tugs him in the box," the Scot said. "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."

United's goalless draw has thrown Group A wide open, with Moyes' men now in a three-way tussle with Bayer Leverkusen and Shakhtar Donetsk to secure a place in the knockout stages.
