"Ratcliffe's comments on immigration in an interview with Sky News last week were widely condemned, including by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and the Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham. The FA said last week it was looking into the comments, but the Press Association understands Ratcliffe has only been issued with a reminder of his responsibilities as a participant in football when giving media interviews, and that no further action will be taken against him."
"the club's made a statement on the back of it so for me to add to that is not my place," he said. "What I can say is, as I've been around this club many, many years, we always make a huge impact globally. "We're really proud of the environment and the culture that we've got at the club, and equality and diversity and respect for each other is something that we look to carry through every day."
Sir Jim Ratcliffe said the United Kingdom had been "colonised by immigrants" in a Sky News interview and his remarks drew widespread condemnation from figures including the prime minister and the mayor of Greater Manchester. The Football Association reviewed the comments and issued Ratcliffe a reminder of his responsibilities as a participant in football when giving media interviews, with no further action. Ratcliffe apologised, saying he was sorry if his comments had offended some people. Manchester United's interim head coach Michael Carrick emphasised the club's global impact and said equality, diversity and respect are values the club seeks to uphold daily.
