Football's equality charity Kick It Out has called for action on 'rampant discrimination' on social media after Ashley Young became the latest footballer to be racially abused online.
The Manchester United full back was subjected to abuse following their Champions League quarter final elimination at the hands of Barcelona.
Young played the full 90 minutes at the Nou Camp as United suffered a 3-0 defeat, exiting the competition 4-0 on aggregate.
