Manchester United great Eric Cantona has said he would never have joined the club had current co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe been in charge.

Ratcliffe has courted more controversy this week, saying in a BBC interview that the United Kingdom is in decline because “nobody’s tough enough to deal with the immigration problem”.
