West Ham United manager Slaven Bilic has defended midfielder Dimitri Payet amidst the diving claims labelled against him in the FA Cup draw with Manchester United.

United manager Louis van Gaal had claimed that Payet took a dive under a challenge from Marcus Rojo in the second half of the 1-1 draw, but Bilic insists that the incident should have resulted in a penalty for the Hammers.

"For me, it should have been a penalty on Dimitri," said Bilic.

"A dive? Come on. If you have a screen I am going to show you and defend my point at Cambridge [Union].

"You can clearly see there is contact. So it's definitely not a dive, 100 per cent not a dive.

"If you're sliding in your own box from behind, then you're taking a risk. It wasn't nasty, it was mistimed, nowhere near the ball."
