David Moyes defends Adnan Januzaj dive

Moyes defends Januzaj dive

Manchester United manager David Moyes has defended winger Adnan Januzaj after he was booked for simulation in their 3-1 win over West Ham United.

Januzaj, 18, scored United's second goal against the Hammers on Saturday, but was booked late into the second half for diving.

Asked if he supported players diving, Moyes told Sky Sports: "I saw it, but I believe he thought he was going to be chopped down.

"He's been getting kicked upside down for weeks but we'll be making sure [diving] doesn't creep into his play. Everyone can see the talent the boy has got."

The victory against West Ham meant that Man United avoided losing three successive home games in a row.
