February 2026

The FA contacted Jim Ratcliffe and reminded him of his responsibilities as a participant in English football, but will not sanction him or Manchester United following his anti-immigration remarks. After public backlash and condemnation from Kick It Out, the FA opted for a reminder rather than formal disciplinary steps, according to the report, leaving Ratcliffe and United facing reputational pressure but no football punishment.
