Real Sociedad defender Bergara attacks Man Utd winger Young over dive

Real Sociedad defender Markel Bergara has blasted Manchester United winger Ashley Young over his apparent dive last week.

Young is both a "diver" and a "cheat" according to the man he got booked in Manchester United's Champions League draw with Real Sociedad.

Bergara, 27, fumed: "I barely touched him and he dived.

"The truth is that he cheated.

"I can't describe the anger at that moment.

"He didn't apologise to me or any of my team-mates."

Bergara, a former Spain Under-20 midfielder, told The Sun: "I know all about the criticism against Young in England.

"We know in England these things are considered very bad and I think the incident is clear to see on TV.

"He just brushed against me and fell."
