DANNY WELBECK was last night accused of diving in United’s romp over Wigan.

And beaten boss Roberto Martinez also claimed the England forward should have been red-carded for an over-the-top lunge on Franco di Santo.

Welbeck was awarded an early spot-kick as he fell over a challenge from keeper Ali Al Habsi.

Martinez, usually as cool as a cucumber, blasted: “He dived, he dived for the penalty.

“And the challenge by him on Franco was completely reckless. Under the new regulations, you can’t do that.

“I’m not blaming the referee for the scoreline but I’m looking for a little bit of fair ground on which to perform.

“I have had three red cards in my last two games here. We don’t seem to be measured in the same manner as the team at home. Today’s penalty was as bad a decision as you are going to see.”
