A history of diving: How Young has consistently shown he's out to cheat refs
By Rik Sharma
When Ashley Young went down to win Manchester United a penalty against Real Sociedad, nobody was surprised.
He has a history of diving and has been spoken to by David Moyes and his predecessor Sir Alex Ferguson about his bad habit.
Sportsmail has collated some of his most notable attempts to con referees across the land.
What does David Moyes have to say on Ashley Young?
SEPTEMBER 14, 2013: Manchester United 2-0 Crystal Palace
Young was booked for diving by referee Jon Moss, as he went down under a challenge from Kagisho Dikgacoi. Later in the game he won an extremely soft penalty and Dikgacoi was sent off.
David Moyes said: 'I don’t want my players diving. I’ll definitely tell Ashley that’s not what I want to see.'
APRIL 15, 2012: Manchester United 4-0 Aston Villa
Against his former club Aston Villa, Young hit the deck to win a penalty which gave United a two goal lead.
Sir Alex Ferguson conceded that Young went down ‘quite easily’.
APRIL 8, 2012: Manchester United 2-0 QPR
Young went down under barely any pressure from QPR’s Shaun Derry in the area. The defender was sent off and Wayne Rooney slotted home from the spot.
After the game R's chief Phil Beard tweeted: 'Difficult to take after watching numerous replays but Ashley Young could partner Tom Daley at the Olympics.'
OCTOBER 23, 2011: Manchester United 1-6 Manchester City
In United’s 6-1 humbling in their own backyard by neighbours Manchester City, Young went down over a James Milner challenge, seemingly sticking out his leg to hit Milner and ensure there was some contact.
Sadly he won a free kick.
OCTOBER 12, 2010: England 0-0 Montenegro
Young was given a yellow card after tumbling theatrically over a challenge in the box during a goalless draw with Montenegro at Wembley. After the game Young insisted that he was fouled.
He said: 'I felt there was a foul beforehand in the first phase of play that didn't get given and I just couldn't do anything to get out of the way of the player coming in.
'I thought it was a penalty but that's the way things go. We didn't get it and we've just got to get on with it.'
