Ratcliffe's latest comments on immigration in UK condemned by Man United fan group
Manchester United’s Muslim Supporters’ Club has called for club owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe to leave the club, with his latest comments about immigration coming as the team struggles on the field. In February, the 73-year-old Ratcliffe said the United Kingdom had been “colonized by immigrants” and later apologized if he offended anyone.
Manchester United's Muslim Supporters' Club has criticized club owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe for his recent statements on immigration, deeming them "deeply disappointing." Ratcliffe, a 73-year-old man, has previously described the UK as "colonized by immigrants" and recently stated that the country is "on the slide" due to immigration.
The Muslim Supporters' Club, which represents the club's diverse fan base, condemned Ratcliffe's words and emphasized that Manchester United's strength lies in its diversity. The group expressed their loss of confidence in Ratcliffe and the club's American owners, the Glazer family, after years of decline and failure. The club has recently struggled on the field, losing two of their first four games in the league and being knocked out of the English League Cup by Brighton.
Fans have protested against the current ownership, with a banner at a recent match stating "the way you treat us is a disgrace."
