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”.

🚨🇨🇮 Amad Diallo Trafficking Story!
What people, let alone footballers, have to do to make a living or fulfil a dream - some like Sir Jim Ratcliffe will never understand because of their privileged background!
Amad Diallo (born 11 July 2002 in Abidjan, Ivory Coast) was smuggled into Italy around 2010–2015 (sources vary slightly, often citing ages 8–12) using fake family reunification visas. He and another young player, Hamed Junior Traoré (not his biological brother, as confirmed by DNA tests), were presented as children of adults (including Hamed Mamadou Traoré, who posed as their father) to gain entry. This was orchestrated by adults in a child-trafficking ring targeting aspiring West African footballers, promising them European football opportunities.
The boys ended up in northern Italy (Reggio Emilia/Parma region), joining local clubs like ASD Boca Barco before moving to professional teams—Amad to Atalanta and Hamed to Sassuolo. Between 2017 and 2020, Italian authorities (Parma prosecutors and the FIGC) investigated sports-related trafficking networks, uncovering the forged documents and false family ties used for immigration.
In February 2021, Amad (then 18) was fined €48,000 (around £42,000) by the FIGC for violating sports justice rules by using false documents to register and play in Italy (initially under the name Amad Diallo Traoré). He accepted a plea bargain to avoid further sanctions such as suspension. Many reports stress that, as a minor and victim of trafficking, he was not the orchestrator but a child exploited in the scheme. The adults involved faced accusations of smuggling and document forgery.
Amad legally changed his name from Amad Diallo Traoré to simply Amad Diallo in 2020 (around his 18th birthday), dropping "Traoré" to distance himself from the false family link and the scandal. He has rarely spoken publicly about it, and some view the traffickers as having inadvertently enabled his escape from poverty to a successful career.
Amad joined Manchester United from Atalanta in 2021 for around £37 million and has become a key player for the club and the Ivory Coast national team.
🚨🎙️ Jose Mourinho on the GOAT debate:
“I keep saying that its harder to be Cristiano than to be Messi.
Messi grew up in the team he plays for, with the teammates he plays with.
Cristiano came from England to a team that was losing. He had to grow in the last 2 years with this team in construction.
Messi plays as a 9 in about 50 squared meteres, closer to the goal with less defensive work.
Cristiano on the other hand is a winger. How can a winger score the same amount of goals as a CF?
A winger that defends. A winger that ends a game at the 94th minute with a sprint chasing Pedro in a scoring situation. A winger that in set piece situations comes 20 times to his own box, because its very important to the defensive setup.
A player that isn't protected by nothing or nobody. They see him as a huge animal. He needs to be fouled a lot of times just for the first yellow to come out.
But with Messi, it's one foul then a yellow card, and if you touch him again, you are out.
Its much, much harder to be Cristiano, let's stop kidding.”

Fucking dirty rapist piece of shit is never coming anywhere near this club again. You fucking weirdos idolising him should have your hard drives checked.
Rat cunt
He was 16.
She was 36.
She preyed on him.
She got pregnant by him.
She had his child.
She took him to court for child support.
At 17, he was ordered by a Chicago judge to pay child support.
He never received justice for being manipulated and raped.
She was never held accountable.
Society doesn’t care about the thousands of men who were preyed on and raped by women. It’s treated as normal when the woman is the predator. When you speak about it on Facebook or Instagram, they ban you.
I will continue shedding light on it.
