(Reuters) - UEFA will not take any action after investigating claims that Manchester United winger Anthony Elanga was subjected to racist abuse while playing for the Sweden Under-21s against Italy last month, European soccer's governing body said on Monday.

The alleged incident took place when Elanga was involved in a scuffle with opposition players following the two sides' 1-1 draw in Monza on Oct. 12.
