Man Utd fullback Young proud to be at World Cup: Just like Italia '90!

Manchester United veteran Ashley Young is proud to be with England's World Cup squad.

His involvement in the game's biggest event was something he wished for when he was barely five years old back in 1990.

"Italia '90 was the one I remember first," he said, when asked to recall his first World Cup memories by MUTV.

“I remember hearing the name Toto Schillaci and I think I even bought the computer game on the Nintendo. It was the first World Cup I'd seen and it was just a fantastic tournament.

“I always wanted to play in the biggest tournaments and when it comes to the international stage, it doesn't get any bigger than the World Cup."
