The Red Devils’ boss believes that FIFA or UEFA will not place hefty bans on players who dive, as it has become a common sight in the game.
Feigning injuries in order to manipulate the referees is considered to be one of the main down points of the modern game.
Long gone it seems are the days of good sportsmanship, instead we see players like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dani-Alves-c9869 and Ashley Young falling to the ground at slightest of touches.
Indeed it has angered the majority of fans, who claim that something should be done about the antics by the relevant authorities, who can either choose to ban them or place fines on them.
However nothing concrete has been done so far and the issues seem to escalate every week.
Starting with Ashley Young’s blatant dives against QPR and Aston Villa, Chelsea’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604.
While no manager has taken any action against his players, United coach Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson claimed that he talked to Young over his diving problem and hoped that it would be resolved sooner rather than later.
However he added that the concerned authorities were too reluctant to do anything in the time of need, just like they had done with various other issues.
"The only been one case I can remember of a player being retrospectively punished, was Rivaldo. I can't remember another player ever being punished for acting. It doesn't lie with the clubs, it is FIFA and UEFA.”
"But there are a load of things we ask them for, including goal-line technology, and nothing's ever done. It doesn't bother me one way or the other because I don't think it will happen."
He also added that the current crop of players should turn to United legend Ryan Giggs as an example, as he has never been accused of any wrong doing on the pitch.
"http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ryan-Giggs-c31985 has been here for 20 years and got five penalties. Do you know why? Because his balance is so good,” the Scot said.
Despite the recent controversy, United are well on their course to title number twenty, which they could seal with wins against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c13019 and Manchester City in the coming weeks.
