Man United’s Ratcliffe Under Fire After Immigration Comments Spark Backlash

Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has been formally reminded of his “responsibilities as a participant in English football” after provoking widespread criticism for asserting that Britain has been “colonized” by immigrants. The remarks, which surfaced over the weekend, have drawn condemnation from fan groups, anti-racism organizations, and sections of the football community who argue that the language is inflammatory and runs counter to the sport’s inclusive ethos. The Football Association has yet to announce any disciplinary proceedings, but the reprimand signals mounting pressure on the 71-year-old billionaire to clarify or retract his statement. Ratcliffe, who completed his minority stake in the club earlier this year, has so far declined to respond publicly.
