Fergie: Diving here to stay

Alex Ferguson does not believe FIFA will ever launch a crackdown to rid football of the scourge of diving.

The Manchester United boss has admitted he “had a word” with Ashley Young earlier this week after a couple of incidents over the past fortnight that led to the England winger receiving widespread condemnation.

It was suggested at the time action should be brought against players guilty of diving, with many people feeling it has gone too far.
