Manchester United could potentially be ineligible for UEFA competitions due to owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s ownership of Ligue 1 side OGC Nice. According to UEFA’s multi-club ownership rules, if both of Ratcliffe’s clubs finish the season in Champions League spaces, the higher-placed team will be eligible to participate, while the other will not.
Currently, OGC Nice holds the second position in the French top-flight league, while Manchester United is five points away from the top four in the Premier League. This situation leaves the possibility that only one of the two clubs can play in European competitions next season, either in the Champions League or the newly introduced Conference League.
Fans of Manchester United have expressed their concerns and reactions to this potential dilemma. Some have called it a “disaster” and highlighted the ongoing issues at Old Trafford. Others hope that this situation could push the Glazer family to consider selling the club entirely.
While some fans are hopeful that Manchester United might not even qualify for European competitions this season, others see this as a doomsday scenario for the club. There are even tongue-in-cheek predictions that Manchester United could potentially join the Saudi Pro League.
However, one optimistic fan suggested that a break from European competitions might benefit the club in the long run.
The outcome of this situation remains uncertain, but it has certainly sparked discussions among Manchester United supporters about the club’s future and ownership structure.
