Wigan Athletic boss Roberto Martinez blasted Manchester United striker Danny Welbeck after yesterday’s 4-0 defeat.

Martinez felt Welbeck dived for United’s early penalty and should’ve been sent off for a bad challenge on Franco di Santo.

“For Danny Welbeck’s last challenge, his foot was over the ball on Franco,” said Martinez.

“It is completely reckless. Under the new regulations you cannot do that. I am not arguing whether they should be in the game or not. That is for others.

“But with the laws as they are, you cannot tackle people like that. The foot is over the ball. It is reckless and dangerous. It is a red card, for a Wigan player, Manchester United, everyone.”
