Manchester United

Manchester United coach Michael Carrick said the Premier League club was proud of its culture after co-owner Jim Ratcliffe triggered a storm of criticism for claiming Britain had been "colonized" by immigrants. The British billionaire owner of petrochemicals giant INEOS later apologized that his choice of language had "offended some people." Ratcliffe's comments were condemned by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, along with a wide spectrum of political figures, as well as United fans proud of the diversity within the team and its supporter base. Carrick, who was hired as interim head coach, faced the media on Friday for the first time since Ratcliffe's remarks and he was asked for his response. "Sir Jim has made a statement, and then the club's made a statement on the back of it so for me to add to that is not my place," he said. "What I can say is, as I've been around this club many, many years, we always make a huge impact globally. "We're really proud of the environment and

With Fernandes rediscovering his creative best, the question now is whether the Portuguese midfielder can equal or even surpass that landmark.

Manchester United co-owner Jim Ratcliffe said Thursday that he's sorry if some have been offended by anti-immigrant comments. The billionaire co-owner of Manchester United faced criticism by both political leaders and fans after he said the U.K. had been "colonized'' by immigrants. Ratcliffe, the founder and chairman of chemicals maker Ineos, is one of Britain's richest people and an influential voice on politics and the economy. Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Wednesday that the comments by Jim Ratcliffe were "offensive and wrong." Ratcliffe issued a statement on Thursday, saying that he was "sorry that my choice of language has offended some people in the U.K. and Europe." Ratcliffe, who lives in the tax haven of Monaco, made the comments in a wide-ranging interview with Sky News in which he touched on the challenges facing the European chemicals industry, politics and the weakness of the U.K. economy. "You can't have an economy with 9 million people on benefits and huge level

Some protesters wore clown masks as disgruntled Manchester United fans marched toward Old Trafford on Sunday to express their anger at the ownership of the club. The 1958 - the fan group organizing the march - has been a vocal critic of the Glazer family, which took a controlling stage of United in 2005, and British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe, the owner of petrochemical giant INEOS who assumed control of the club's soccer operations in 2024. The latest anti-ownership demonstration took place ahead of United's Premier League match against Fulham. Fans chanted against the owners and held banners as smoke from flares filled the air while the protesters marched down Sir Matt Busby Way to the forecourt at the stadium. Greater Manchester Police indicated there were between 500 and 600 protesters and no arrests had been made. The 1958 group has complained about the "dysfunctional, inept ownership" of the 20-time English champions, whose last league title was in 2013. The Glazers have bee

The Derby is guaranteed to deliver unforgettable moments, and there are countless reasons why you simply can't miss this clash at the Theatre of Dreams.

Managerless Manchester United crashed out of the FA Cup with a 2-1 defeat to Brighton. At the end of a week that saw the storied Premier League team and 13-time FA Cup winner fire head coach Ruben Amorim, the loss at Old Trafford has likely consigned United to another trophyless season and was greeted with loud jeers from the home crowd. Interim coach Darren Fletcher admitted the 20-time English champion was not in a good moment, but said it was too soon to write the season off with Champions League qualification still achievable. It's probably not what fans want to hear about Manchester United because they've been winning cups and challenging for the Premier League, he said. Don't waste the season. That would be the challenge that I would set. That's the challenge that probably the players feel like they need to achieve this year. Former United striker Danny Welbeck scored what proved to be the decisive goal in the 64th minute, and Benjamin Sesko's late header was only a consolati

Patrick Dorgu scored his first goal for Manchester United as his team defeated Newcastle 1-0 in a pulsating Premier League match on Friday. The 21-year-old Dorgu smashed in a left-foot volley from 15 meters midway through the first half to give United its first home win in four Premier League games, and lift the club above Liverpool into fifth place. But reigning champion Liverpool is at home to bottom club Wolves on Saturday. It was a good hit. I didn't know I could do that," a delighted Dorgu said. United was without talismanic captain Bruno Fernandes while several other first-team players were missing due to injury or Africa Cup of Nations duty. The new-look side also lined up in an unusual back-four formation but it was a match for Newcastle in an even first half most notable for Dorgu's fine strike, his first in 38 appearances in a red jersey. United was hampered by the half-time withdrawal of Mason Mount due to injury and Newcastle dominated the early moments of the second

Rashford appears to have rediscovered his form and confidence at Barcelona, currently leading La Liga after 14 games, with Real Madrid trailing by just a point.
