Manchester United confident Uefa will not demote them from Europa League
Owners are not allowed ‘decisive influence’ at multiple clubsRatcliffe’s Ineos company also owns Ligue 1 club Nice
Sir Jim Ratcliffe is confident Manchester United will not be demoted from the Europa League and will be allowed to compete next season alongside Nice, the French club he also owns via his company Ineos.
Uefa regulations prevent an organisation or person from wielding “decisive influence” over more than one club in the same competition. Ratcliffe has a 27.7% stake in United and controls the club’s football policy, and Ineos has owned Nice since 2019.
