You don't magically get a penalty if someone touches you and there is contact in the penalty box, he had no need so go over and dive like that!
Yes you do if it's a foul which, in my opinion, it was. The defender was moving away but still places his foot down on Young's, even if Young deliberately placed his foot there (which I'm not sure he did to be honest).
A foul can still occur, with a penalty given, but yellow card given for simulation too.
"Ashley Young's tumble to the deck needs a BOING! sound effect", "Replays just make that Young tumble worse and worse. Maybe it's a trip but there's no way a player's face should hit the ground first at that speed", " A few boos audible from the away end as Young picks up the ball. Throughly deserved too". http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/apr/15/premier-league-manchester-united-aston-villa-mbm
" "I have to say, I think again Ashley Young has taken a dive. I said before the game he has to be careful of his theatrics. There was minimal contact, and the way he went down was shocking", http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17720773
united would be like 6th in the league if they started using technology in football
the fulham penaulty that was never given, the countless dives etc.
The decisions that they should have had but never got... like that handball against Wigan a few days ago, and the fact that Wigan's goal resulted from a corner which shouldn't have been given...

And what about the penalty that was given against Newcastle at OT when Ferdinand took the ball? A game that ended in a draw? Or the two decisions on Wednesday? Or the many decisions that go in other teams' favour, including where the player has dived? Chelsea score two offside goals last weekend for goodness sake.
There are others and, if I could be bothered, I'd link you and demonstrate that, if anything more decisions go against us unfairly.
But I'd rather watch the game.
Oh, and now there is a handball decisions that wasn't given to us. Yep, decisions always go United's way.
