Manchester United owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe apologises for ‘colonised by immigrants’ comments

Manchester United co-owner Jim Ratcliffe says “UK has been colonised” by immigrants

Sir Jim Ratcliffe, co-owner of Manchester United, issued a statement apologising for offending people with his previous comments claiming the UK had been "colonised by immigrants".
He clarified that his remarks were made at the European Industry Summit in Antwerp, where he was discussing UK economic policy and the importance of managed migration for growth.
Ratcliffe stated his intention was to stress that governments must manage migration alongside investment in skills and industry for long-term prosperity.
The Football Association announced it would investigate whether Ratcliffe's controversial comments brought the game into disrepute.
Both Keir Starmer and Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham condemned Ratcliffe's statements, with Starmer calling them "offensive and wrong" and Burnham describing them as "insulting and inflammatory".
