Summary
Manchester United's Muslim Supporters' Club has called for Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the Glazers to leave the club following the co-owner's recent BBC interview in Denmark, where he blamed immigration and welfare dependency for Britain's problems. The group condemned his remarks as deeply disappointing, noting this marks a second controversy in months after Ratcliffe previously apologised for saying the UK had been "colonised by immigrants."
The supporters' statement extends beyond Ratcliffe's comments to criticise the club's direction under his ownership and the Glazers, pointing to poor on-pitch results, deteriorating infrastructure, high ticket prices and years of underperformance despite significant spending. United sit 13th in the Premier League after four games and were knocked out of the Carabao Cup this week.
