Manchester United fans displayed a ‘MUFC proudly colonised by immigrants’ banner at Old Trafford in response to a controversial interview given by the club’s minority owner Jim Ratcliffe last month.

Ratcliffe was criticised by figures including Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham after saying in an interview with Sky News that the UK had been “colonised by immigrants” who were “costing too much money”.
