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”.

Man United will only play 40 games this season following their exits from the cups along with no European football.
The last time they played just 40 games in a season was in 1915 due to the World War.
Now that’s a shocking stat.
The Glazers first night as owners 20 years ago.
I remember this night well, I wasn’t there but I was as livid as these lads were.
I knew the Glazers had the potential to ruin the club and it’s actually worse than I thought it would be. It’s been death by a thousand cuts reds, 20 years of asset stripping and decay.
Get out of our club you parasites
It’s been over 11 years in the making but @ManUtd are all of a sudden good to watch again! Improvement required everywhere you look but this is now a team with potential written all over it.
I’ve never seen a half of passing like that in my life. Is the manager to blame for 11 players not being able to complete a 5 yard pass? Tuck in and take the medicine. #mufc
Limerick awesome,but make no mistake about it, it will be the blood and bandage standing over them when they are toppled #AllIrelandHurlingFinal#Corklimerick
