Young told to watch his step by United boss Ferguson after 'dramatic fall' in win over Villa

Disbelief: The Aston Villa players react to Mark Halsey awarding a penalty

Asked if he was worried that Young is getting a reputation for going down too easily, Ferguson said: 'In the last week or two, yes. I’ve never seen that in him. It’s not a habitual thing in him. He was brought down, he just made the most of it.

'It was a dramatic fall. He overdid the fall but it’s a penalty, there’s no doubt about that and I don’t think they can have any complaint because he has taken him.'

'If a player decides to put his foot in and he's definitely taken him down then he's fallen in to that.

'Good defending has always been good defending - if they read the game and keep their feet in they should really cope with that.'
