Man Utd Muslim Supporters Club calls for Sir Jim Ratcliffe's resignation

The Manchester United Muslim Supporters Club has demanded that co‑owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe step down following remarks he made in which he criticised immigration policy and described the United Kingdom as “on the slide.” The club, which represents a significant portion of the team’s fan base, said Ratcliffe’s comments were “unacceptable” and “contrary to the values of the club and the wider community.”

Ratcliffe’s statements were made in a recent interview with a national media outlet, where he warned that unchecked immigration could undermine the country’s social fabric. The club’s statement emphasised that the club has long championed diversity and inclusion, and that such remarks are at odds with the club’s public commitments to those principles. The club also called on United’s board to consider the impact of the owner’s views on the club’s reputation and its relationship with fans.

In response, United’s board has yet to issue an official statement. The club’s call for Ratcliffe’s resignation reflects growing pressure from supporters and community groups for the ownership to align its public conduct with the values it promotes on and off the pitch.
