Manchester United has been banned from the UEFA Europa League after violating double Club rules 💔.

UEFA has made a decision regarding whether Manchester United and Manchester City will be allowed to compete in the Europa League and the Champions League alongside their sister clubs. According to a report by the UK Times, UEFA has given approval for both Manchester United and Manchester City to participate in the same European competitions as their affiliated clubs for the upcoming season.

The decision is expected to be officially announced by UEFA’s Club Financial Control Board (CFCB) on Monday. However, this approval comes with specific restrictions.

Currently, UEFA regulations prohibit teams from competing in the same tournament if they share ownership with another participating club. This rule aims to prevent potential conflicts of interest and ensure fair competition.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who owns a minority stake in Manchester United, also owns Nice, a Ligue 1 team that has qualified for the Europa League this season. Similarly, Girona, which is part of the City Football Group, has qualified for the Champions League alongside Manchester City by securing third place in La Liga this season.

Despite these potential conflicts, UEFA has decided to allow Manchester United and Manchester City to compete in European competitions next season under the condition that Nice and Girona are operated through a “blind trust.” This arrangement ensures that the day-to-day operations of these clubs are managed independently, thereby satisfying UEFA’s regulations and maintaining the integrity of the competitions.

In summary, while there are restrictions in place, UEFA has approved the participation of both Manchester United and Manchester City in European tournaments alongside their sister clubs for the next season.
