Manchester UnitedThe season has not gone as planned, but the red devils have a shot at redemption. Securing a place in the Europa League final offers a chance to end the season on a high tone.
Their dominant 7-1 total victory over the Athletic Club sets up a final against Ruben Amorims Tottenham, who won over Bodo/Glimt with a 5-1 victory over both matches. This is happening at the same time as FIFA changes women’s World Cup.
In spite of domestic fighters, Tottenham surprisingly defeated man United three times this season. Winning the Europa League would end Spur’s 17-year-old trophy dryer. For United, it is a chance to save a disappointing campaign with cutlery.
Wins Europa League also guarantees a Champions League location, But that qualification is not guaranteed for United because of Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s ownership in both Man United and Nice (Ligue 1 Team).
Previous regulations would have blocked both clubs from European competition. However, UEFA revised the rules last year to meet the multi -club’s owner models. The current approach assesses each case individually, which previously allowed both United and Nice (plus Manchester City and Girona) to compete in the Europa League.
Todibo transmission blocked, future problems
Ratcliffe’s rod in Nice already caused problems when Jean-Clair Todibo transmission to Old Trafford fell through. Despite this, there is reason for United to hope that this will not be a long -term issue.
Firstly, Ratcliffe is considering selling nicely. This can happen before a certain deadline, which means that both clubs can participate in the Champions League, even if United wins the Europa League.
Although Ratcliffe holds shares in both clubs, UEFA recognizes unique circumstances. As long as it is obvious that the clubs are not handled in Tandem, both can be considered justified.

Ratcliffe’s intention to dispose of
RatClife’s plan to sell Nice can strengthen United’s position. However, this would take time.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe expressed confidence that no ownership conflict would arise. “No, there are no circumstances such as an ownership of Nice would prevent Manchester United from playing in the Champions League. I will be crystal clear on it, ” he said.
He added, “It says you have to change the ownership structure, you know. So it is about influence and positions on the board and that kind of things. A: The rules change, and B: There are shades of gray not black and white. Manchester City will probably have the problem before we have the problem because they have obviously got Girona.“
