Jim Ratcliffe avoids FA charge over immigration comments

Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has avoided a charge from the Football Association following his controversial comments regarding immigration.

The FA decided against charging Sir Jim Ratcliffe, merely reminding him of his responsibilities regarding media conduct. Despite Prime Minister Keir Starmer calling the remarks "offensive" and Andy Burnham criticizing the "insulting" comments, United manager Michael Carrick reaffirmed his pride in the club's culture of equality.
