The Football Association has decided not to bring charges against Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe after probing his recent comments on immigration. The FA examined whether the remarks had brought the game into disrepute and concluded no formal charge would follow. Instead, Ratcliffe was reminded of the responsibilities that accompany his position.<\/p>\n
An official club statement attempted to distance Manchester United from the comments. The billionaire businessman issued what reporting described as an unconvincing apology in the aftermath. Many representatives of the club are said to be “outraged” by Ratcliffe’s words.<\/p>\n
Interim Man Utd manager Michael Carrick addressed the matter at his pre-match press conference ahead of the trip to Everton on Monday night and reiterated the club\u2019s position. Carrick said: “Sir Jim has made a statement and then the club has made a statement. It is not my place to add to that,” and went on to stress the wider responsibilities the club holds. “What I can say is I have been at this club many years and we make a huge impact globally, in whatever way, and we are responsible for that. As a player, member of staff, supporter, I think we are really proud of that environment and the culture we have at the club.<\/p>\n
“Equality and diversity and respect for each other is what we try and carry through every day. I have travelled the world and I know what this club means to an awful lot of people. We are fully aware of the responsibility and we try to carry that out every single day.”<\/p>\n
The FA\u2019s outcome brings an end to the governing body\u2019s formal inquiry while the club continues to manage the internal and public response to the episode.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
