Ashley Young not concerned with racism ahead of World Cup

There are widespread concerns surrounding racism on the eve of the World Cup, with the Russian Football Union fined £22,000 by FIFA for racist chanting in a March friendly against France in St Petersburg.

Such potential flash points led to Tottenham defender Danny Rose asking his family to remain behind at home amid fears of racist abuse.

But Ashley Young will have his family present at the games.

“I’ve got no concerns at all, I’ve got a family that are going out there. The FA have spoken to us security-wise and I’ve got every confidence in them and with family going out there,”” the Manchester United man told Press Association Sport.
