Headache in Manchester United regarding its European participation next season, because of Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s INEOS group!
And this because the “red devils” are in the same group as the Nis and they will face a big problem if the French go to the Europa League, as long as they also get the ticket for the second-tier European competition.
In particular, UEFA published its new regulations on “multi-club ownership” explaining what happens in these cases: initially, the new rules state that clubs under the same ownership umbrella can play in Europe if they participate in different competitions, but the prohibition of participation of clubs in the same event remains in effect.
So, if United and Nice qualify for the Europa League through the league, according to the regulations, the French side will go ahead, as they are the highest ranked in their domestic league.
However, this it could change if the English won the FA Cup, as they would send Nice to the Europa Conference League. The French side are well on their way to a European exit in the new season, as they are in 5th place with 43 points and level with Lille, who are in fourth place leading into the Champions League.
