Manchester United fans unveiled a pro-immigration banner during Sunday’s fixture against Crystal Palace in response to comments from minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

The banner was displayed by supporters in the corner over the tunnel at Old Trafford before the second half of the Premier League match kicked off.

It read: “MUFC proudly colonised by immigrants” and pictured seven international players who have represented the club: France’s Eric Cantona and Patrice Evra, Park Ji-sung of South Korea, Portugal’s Bruno Fernandes, Norway’s Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Amad of the Ivory Coast and Brazil’s Casemiro.

In February, Ratcliffe said in an interview with Sky he believed the United Kingdom has been “colonised by immigrants”.

Thanks for all the replies and to those who read the piece criticising Sir Jim Ratcliffe. Manchester United’s co-owner has issued an apology/clarification (of sorts). He does not come out of this well. United, however, do come out of this well. Their statement was strong, starting...“Manchester United prides itself on being an inclusive and welcoming club. Our diverse group of players, staff and global community of supporters, reflect the history and heritage of Manchester; a city that anyone can call home.” And finishing...“Manchester United reflects the unity and resilience of all the communities we are so privileged to represent. We will continue to represent our people, our city and our fans with purpose and pride.” Well said. Ratcliffe take note. #MUFC

They spent all week trying to tell us they'd beat 2008 Manchester United and couldn't even beat 2026 Manchester United. 😭

@Duncan_65 @UtdBeforFergie Great day
At the University on way home back to Manchester that day . Excellent performance , thought we were going to win the league that season. Had a squad of 12 players!!

[Carl Anka @Ankaman616]

A drab, uninspiring draw for Manchester United to cap off a drab and uninspiring year of football for this team.

#MUFC's 1-1 draw with a historically bad Wolves team leaves fans with a nagging feeling. The team is better than they used to be. And yet...

Sturm Graz fans to me is what you call an atmosphere in my opinion.

Not music blasted over tannoy pre match or after goals

Not light shows or firework displays

Not trumpet players or forced drums

Just passionate fans making a great din.

Give me this in England any day

Such an incredible tribute. My dad would absolutely love this. He was so proud to come from Kilbirnie! We will come up soon as a family to see his name above the stand. Thank you so so much to everyone @KLFC_official for honouring my dad

[Chris Kamara @chris_kammy]

Shed a lot of tears today 😢 but @SkyAdamSmith kicked me off with his lovely tribute

[Anthony Shaw @anthonyfdshaw]

I understand we've seen this pattern many times, but the negativity before kick off was way overboard for me. You cant just give up 4 games in, if you were remotely positive at the start. A win doesnt make everything ok either, but some perspective needed. #MUFC

[S Foster @SFoster46767889]

@MUFCScoop Glad you feel that way.. am still absolutely furious with this .
Where is the pride ?
The refusal not to lie down

[S Foster @SFoster46767889]

@paulenglish1961 @Cantona_Collars Definitely agree

[Wigan Warriors 🍒⚪️ @WiganWarriorsRL]

On the pitch, we play for you. Off it, we will continue to stand with you. 🤝

On Woman’s Hour just now - women and girls not even pulled out of the earthquake rubble in Afghanistan because men won’t touch them and male doctors won’t treat them. ‘Barbaric’ doesn’t even come close.

No going on strike.
No wage demands.
Carried himself with class and dignity amongst at times unrelenting abuse.
Ultimately it hasn’t worked out for him but I hope he goes and smashes it at Napoli just like Scott McTominay has.
Best of luck Rasmus lad.

[S Foster @SFoster46767889]

@Cantona_Collars Would agree with all..
lost momentum when Mount went off I thought
Crowd were actually quite subdued apart from the last bit obviously

[Sav 🇾🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @jonmikesav8]

I’ve just got to say it.
Selling Kobbie Mainoo would be another monumental bollock drop by my club.

[Wayne Barton @WayneSBarton]

There is nobody else to build the midfield around long term and no guarantee we’ll get Baleba. No guarantee that we’ll have the same manager next summer. I really can’t emphasise how catastrophic this already is and how it would be.

[S Foster @SFoster46767889]

@anthonyfdshaw Thought Dorgu was complete liability as it went on
Gave the ball away so many times plus fouling a lot
Dalot was just poor
Him giving the ball away led to their goal
