United: Ashley Young and Danny Welbeck

'They way they went about their victory was great and if we can join those experiences throughout the tournament it can only bode well for England.'

Lescott did not flinch from addressing the subject of racism in Ukraine, days after members of
Theo Walcott's family revealed they would not be travelling to the tournament because of their concerns.

The Manchester City defender said his family would not be going either, although not for the same reason.

Of whether he is worried about racism, Lescott said: 'As a player no - you get on with it, it won't be the first time if it happens.

'My family won't be going out there, not for any particular reason. If things are said in the crowd you just have to deal with it and address it after.

'It's a shame we are talking about it, I think we always will be, it's a touchy subject for some to talk about.
