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 step down following his recent comments on immigration. The club's statement, in response to Ratcliffe's latest remarks, deems them "deeply disappointing."

In February, Ratcliffe had stated that the United Kingdom had been "colonized by immigrants," remarks he later apologized for if they offended anyone. However, he has reiterated these views in a recent BBC interview, further criticizing the UK's situation due to immigration and benefits issues.

The Muslim Supporters' Club, which comprises players, staff, stewards, security teams, and supporters from various backgrounds, expressed their disappointment in Ratcliffe's latest comments. They emphasized that diversity is a strength for Manchester United, not a weakness, and lamented the decline of the club, which they attribute to the Glazer family and Ratcliffe's ownership.

The group has lost confidence in Ratcliffe and the Glazer family, citing years of decline, broken promises, and repeated failures. They demand change, urging the Glazers and Ratcliffe to leave the club. Recent poor performance on the field, with Manchester United losing two of their first four games and getting knocked out of the English League Cup, adds fuel to the call for change. Fans have protested against the current ownership, expressing their dissatisfaction with being treated poorly by the club.
