Manchester United's Europa League Future in Limbo Due to Multi-Club Ownership Rules

UEFA's regulations on ownership influence require structural changes for United and Nice to both compete in the same competition next season.

  • Ineos, owner of stakes in both Manchester United and Nice, must satisfy UEFA's rules by Monday to avoid United's demotion.
  • UEFA's multi-club ownership rules prevent an individual or organization from controlling more than one club in the same competition.
  • If unresolved, United would drop to the Europa Conference League, having finished lower in their league than Nice.
  • Past cases show clubs have been allowed to compete after making significant governance changes.
  • Ineos is in direct dialogue with UEFA and believes a solution will be reached to allow both clubs to compete.
