The Manchester United Muslim Supporters Club (MUMSC) has demanded a change in Manchester United’s ownership after co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe made comments on immigration, taxes and welfare during a BBC interview. Ratcliffe, founder of petrochemical company Ineos, blamed Britain’s decline on high taxes and high immigration. In a statement, MUMSC said Ratcliffe's latest remarks were "deeply disappointing and completely unacceptable" and reiterated its previous condemnation of his February comments about immigration, which he later apologized for.
The group expressed hope that Ratcliffe's ownership would bring meaningful change, but now feels the club's ownership must undergo a significant shift. MUMSC emphasized that Manchester United's identity is rooted in its diverse community of players, staff, stewards, security personnel, and supporters from various countries, cultures, ethnicities and religions. The group concluded with the demand that both the Glazer family and Ratcliffe must go.
