US Edition'Proudly colonised by immigrants': Man Utd fans turn tables on Ratcliffe with banner
- During Sunday's Premier League match, Manchester United supporters displayed a banner reading `MUFC proudly colonised by immigrants` at Old Trafford's Stretford End as players emerged for the second half against Crystal Palace.
- Following comments by minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, supporters staged the rebuttal after his interview last month where he said Britain had been `colonised by immigrants` and later apologised.
- Manchester United's player scored a penalty and assisted the winner in a 2-1 victory, responding to fans' protest with on-pitch performance.
- The Football Association reminded Ratcliffe of his responsibilities in interviews but stopped short of further sanctions, criticised by Kick It Out and fans during Sunday's game.
- By reclaiming the phrase, Manchester United supporters paired the slogan with images of foreign club icons, increasing scrutiny on ownership and governance amid rebukes from political figures including Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer.
