Players have had no apology from Ratcliffe, says Carrick
The Guardian
|February 23, 2026
Michael Carrick has revealed he and his Manchester United squad have not received an apology or a message of any sort from Sir Jim Ratcliffe after his claim that the UK has been “colonised by immigrants”.
Ratcliffe, United’s largest single shareholder and head of the club’s football policy, made the comments in a Sky News interview on 11 February. The outcry was strong and immediate, leading the 73-year-old to say the next day he was sorry if his “choice of language has offended some people in the UK and Europe”.
United’s squad contains players of diverse backgrounds and Carrick was asked on Friday if Ratcliffe had followed his qualified public apology with one to the interim head coach and his players or offered any sort of explanation for his comments.
