Ratcliffe avoids FA charge over immigration comments

The Football Association has decided not to charge Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe following his controversial remarks regarding UK immigration.

The FA reviewed the comments but concluded they did not bring the game into disrepute. The governing body simply reminded Ratcliffe of his responsibilities during media interviews.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer previously described the comments as "offensive," though Ratcliffe later apologized. Meanwhile, United manager Michael Carrick broke his silence to reaffirm the club's pride in its culture of equality and diversity.
