Ex-Spurs ace Murphy accuses Man Utd midfielder Fernandes of diving

Former Tottenham midfielder Danny Murphy has accused Manchester United ace Bruno Fernandes of diving.

Murphy highlighted Fernandes' antics during Friday's 1-1 draw at Tottenham.

He wrote for the Daily Mail: "From a football point of view, Bruno was terrific again. I've eulogised about his quality before and it didn't look as though the break had hampered him at all.

"But no matter how good you are or how well you speak off the pitch, if you make a habit of trying to win penalties and free-kicks, you won't be admired in the same way.

"At Spurs, he deserved a yellow card for his tumble and as a fan of his I don't want to see him start doing that. I'm sure Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will have a word with him about it, and he should do."
