Jim Ratcliffe avoids FA charge after immigration comments

Manchester United co-owner Jim Ratcliffe will not face a Football Association charge following his controversial remarks about immigration.

The FA examined if the comments brought the game into disrepute but decided against taking action, simply reminding Ratcliffe of his responsibilities.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer described the remarks as offensive, while United manager Michael Carrick reaffirmed the club's commitment to equality and diversity culture.
