Manchester United fans responded to minority owner Jim Ratcliffe's recent immigration remarks by displaying a banner reading "MUFC proudly colonised by immigrants" during their 2-1 Premier League win over Crystal Palace. The gesture highlighted the club's history and reliance on foreign talent.
Ratcliffe, who recently apologized for comments suggesting Britain had been "colonised by immigrants," faced criticism from Prime Minister Keir Starmer. The fan banner featured images of iconic foreign players, both past and present, including Eric Cantona, Park Ji-sung, and current captain Bruno Fernandes.
The sentiment was reflected on the pitch as Fernandes played a key role in United's comeback victory, scoring a penalty and assisting the winning goal. The win moved United to third in the Premier League, underscoring the impact of their international roster.
