Manchester United relied on 18 foreign players this season, not to mention that the British billionaire himself is an immigrant and has been residing in the wealthy principality of Monaco for 6 years to avoid paying billions in taxes. In turn, interim coach Michael Carrick, a former star of the team, did not remain indifferent. Manchester United fans raised a large banner featuring photos of the team's foreign players, including the Frenchmen Eric Cantona and Patrice Evra, and the Norwegian Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. On it, they wrote: "Manchester United Club is happy to colonize immigrants." This was a clear response to the controversial statement of investor Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who said at an industrial summit in Antwerp that England is a colony of immigrants.
