Jim Ratcliffe avoids FA charge after immigration comments

The Football Association will not charge Manchester United co-owner Jim Ratcliffe after he claimed the UK was 'colonised by immigrants'.

The governing body reviewed the remarks but decided not to take further action. Although Prime Minister Keir Starmer called the comments 'offensive' and Andy Burnham criticised them as 'insulting,' United manager Michael Carrick reaffirmed the club's commitment to equality and diversity.
