Manchester United have released a statement in the aftermath of Sir Jim Ractliffe’s controversial comments about immigrants in the United Kingdom, appearing to firmly distance the club from the outspoken billionaire who owns an almost 29% stake.
Ratcliffe claimed the U.K. has been “colonised by immigrants” and made factually incorrect statements about the country’s population growth. The 73-year-old is ironically an immigrant himself, classed as a resident of Monaco, which is considered a tax-haven.
