Michael Carrick, Manchester United's interim manager, has emphasized the club's commitment to diversity and inclusion following co-owner Jim Ratcliffe's controversial comments on immigration. Ratcliffe had stated that the UK has been “colonised by immigrants,” sparking widespread criticism. Carrick acknowledged Ratcliffe's apology but chose to focus on the club's values.


Carrick, who has been involved with the club for many years, highlighted Manchester United's global impact and responsibility. He emphasized that the club's diverse group of players, staff, and supporters reflects the city's heritage and values. Carrick's comments come ahead of Monday's Premier League match against Everton, with the team focused on their next game.


Manchester United's interim manager, Michael Carrick, emphasized the club's commitment to inclusivity and diversity following co-owner Jim Ratcliffe's controversial comments on immigration. Carrick stated, “We're really proud of the environment and culture we've got at the club, and equality, diversity, and respect for each other is something we look to carry through every day.”


Carrick, who has been with the club for many years, highlighted the team's strong spirit, saying, “We have a really strong group, whether that is the players or the staff. We're in constant communication anyway. We're here to support each other and help each other in whatever way we can.”


The club has released a statement reiterating its commitment to being an inclusive and welcoming club, reflecting the history and heritage of Manchester.


“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. What I can say is, as I've been around this club many, many years, we always make a huge impact globally,” Carrick told reporters on Friday.


Michael Carrick, a 44-year-old with 12 years of experience as a decorated Manchester United midfielder, is serving his second stint as interim boss after Ruben Amorim's departure in January. With deep roots in United's culture, Carrick confidently affirms the club's commitment to inclusivity and diversity, emphasizing its welcoming environment for people of all ethnicities.


He said:
 Part of being at this club is we understand what it is like globally and the responsibilities we have.

I can only speak from my experiences, I have been here for a long time with various managers, various staff, all backgrounds, different backgrounds and it is something I am fully aware of. I am proud of what the club stands for.

 

Michael Carrick is optimistic that Jim Ratcliffe's controversial comments won't negatively impact Manchester United's diverse squad.




Carrick's confidence stems from the team's unity and constant communication among players and staff. 


“We have got a really strong group, whether that is the players and the staff and around the club. I think we are in constant communication anyway and speak to each other and help each other,” Carrick said ahead of Monday's Premier League clash at Everton.


“The boys have been in really good spirits this week. We are looking forward to the next game. We are here to help each other and support each other.”
