I'm not commenting on what Sir Jim Ratcliffe said because after that he said what exactly he wanted to say, but all around the world [it is] the problem that we have in all the countries. We treat immigrants or people who come from other countries as the problem for problems that our countries have and it is a big, big, big, big, big problem."
"Ratcliffe has been heavily criticised for an interview given to Sky News in which the British billionaire -- himself a resident of Monaco -- said "huge levels of immigrants" were putting the U.K. economy under pressure. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, United fan groups and anti-discrimination organisation Kick It Out were among those to call out the 73-year-old's comments. Ratcliffe has since apologised for "his choice of language.""
Pep Guardiola declined to directly comment on Sir Jim Ratcliffe's remarks about immigrants 'colonising' the U.K., while calling similar viewpoints a major global problem. Sir Jim Ratcliffe, a Manchester United co-owner and Monaco resident, said "huge levels of immigrants" were placing pressure on the U.K. economy and faced heavy criticism from Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, United fan groups and Kick It Out. Ratcliffe apologised for "his choice of language." Manchester United issued a statement emphasizing inclusivity. Sources indicate the FA is examining the interview, though no formal investigation has been launched. Guardiola has spoken passionately on other international issues.
