DIVING

"I have watched the video again and Cristiano would have needed the strength of Atlas not to go down," said Ferguson, referring to the Titan who was forced to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders as punishment for losing a war against the Greek gods.

"We have seen evidence over the weekend that diving is a problem in our game and I believe the introduction of foreign players has brought that part. But I don't think Ronaldo dived. It is easy to say he went to ground too easily, he would have been a fool to try withstand those type of tackles."
