Man United boss Michael Carrick has warned co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe that he needs to 'understand responsibilities' following his recent rant on immigration.

Ratcliffe, 73, who emigrated to Monaco and hasn’t paid UK tax since 2020, went on a furious tirade against immigrants back in his home country.

Despite the inflammatory language, the FA decided against punishing him, but he has still earned the ire of much of the city of Manchester and the United fans.

Speaking ahead of Premier League clash with Everton on Monday (February 23), Carrick made sure to remind Ratcliffe of his ‘responsibilities.’

Carrick said: "Sir Jim has made a statement and then the club has made a statement. It is not my place to add to that. 

“What I can say is I have been at this club many years and we make a huge impact globally, in whatever way, and we are responsible for that. As a player, member of staff, supporter, I think we are really proud of that environment and the culture we have at the club. 

“Equality and diversity and respect for each other is what we try and carry through every day. I have travelled the world and I know what this club means to an awful lot of people. We are fully aware of the responsibility and we try to carry that out every single day."
