Ratcliffe avoids FA charge over immigration comments

Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe will not face a charge from the Football Association despite his controversial remarks about UK immigration.

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

Prime Minister Keir Starmer labelled the remarks "offensive," and United manager Michael Carrick reaffirmed the club's commitment to equality and diversity following the billionaire's apology.
