Sir Jim Ratcliffe has to jump through some UEFA hoops to avoid a European ban, denying him the opportunity to avoid the Manchester United tax this summer.
The 2023/24 season came up roses in the end for Sir Jim Ratcliffe . His Manchester United side beat Manchester City to win the FA Cup, claiming a Europa League place in the process, while his other football team, Nice, also qualified for the second tier of European football having finished fifth in Ligue 1. Not bad at all.
If an agreement with UEFA can’t be reached then United, as the lowest ranked side in their respective league out of them and Nice, would be banned. Ratcliffe essentially has to prove to UEFA before a deadline of June 3 that there is enough detachment between United and Nice; that they are very separate clubs.
They’ve been aware of the potential issue for a while, with INEOS people in talks with UEFA over this eventuality for some time, and there is precedence for two teams under the same ownership competing in the same European competition. A stipulation which may scupper United’s transfer plans this summer is that in both instances the partner clubs were banned from transfers – sales or loans – in the summer leading up to the competition.
