According to BBC Sport journalist Mandeep Sanghera, the group has expressed deep disappointment and unacceptable views on Ratcliffe's latest comments. They argue that the club's diversity is a strength, not a weakness, and that Ratcliffe's views are at odds with the values of the club. The group also called on the Glazer family, the club's majority shareholders, to step down, citing their own concerns about the club's direction under their ownership.
Ratcliffe, one of Britain's richest people and founder of petrochemical giant Ineos, made the comments in an interview with the BBC on Saturday. He said the UK was in decline because of a combination of high taxes and high immigration. This is not the first time Ratcliffe has made comments that have sparked controversy, having previously apologised for 'offending some people' with his language after saying the UK had been 'colonised by immigrants'.
The Manchester United Muslim Supporters group has lost confidence in the current ownership structure of the club, citing years of decline, broken promises, and repeated failure. They are now calling for change, with the Glazers and Sir Jim Ratcliffe being the first to go.
