Potential Champions League Ban for Manchester United After Sir Jim Ratcliffe Deal

There are concerns that Manchester United could potentially face exclusion from the Champions League as a result of Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s proposed investment in the club, which aims to acquire a 25% stake for £1.3 billion. According to reports, this substantial investment may lead to the Red Devils being disqualified from Europe’s premier club competition in the upcoming season, as UEFA’s ‘multi-club ownership rules’ prohibit two teams with the same owner from participating in the same tournament. Given that Ratcliffe and his company INEOS also possess ownership of the highly performing French team Nice in Ligue 1, there could be significant repercussions for Manchester United.
