Even if the Red Devils lift the Europa League trophy later this month, off-field complications could derail their return to Europe\u2019s premier competition.<\/p>\n<p>According to multiple reports from sources close to UEFA and Old Trafford, Manchester United could face eligibility issues surrounding UEFA\u2019s ownership rules. With Sir Jim Ratcliffe\u2019s INEOS Group now holding significant influence at the club, questions have been raised due to INEOS\u2019s majority ownership of French club OGC Nice, who are also in contention for a Champions League place via Ligue 1.<\/p>\n<p>UEFA rules currently prohibit two clubs under the same ownership structure from competing in the same European competition, especially if both qualify for the Champions League. If Nice finish higher in Ligue 1 and secure direct qualification, Manchester United could be the team to suffer, regardless of their Europa League triumph.<\/p>\n<p>While efforts are reportedly underway to restructure INEOS\u2019s football operations to satisfy UEFA\u2019s guidelines, time is running out. With the Europa League final looming, Manchester United not only need a victory on the field, but they must also convince UEFA of their compliance off it.<\/p>\n<p>The club\u2019s legal team and top executives are said to be working \u201caround the clock\u201d to resolve the issue. Sources within UEFA confirm that a final decision on eligibility will be made after the domestic league seasons conclude, adding a layer of tension to what was already a high-stakes end to United\u2019s campaign.<\/p>\n<p>This development has cast a cloud over what could have been a glorious comeback season under new leadership. Now, instead of focusing solely on lifting silverware, Manchester United must navigate a legal and regulatory maze \u2014 or risk watching the Champions League from home next season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manchester United\u2019s hopes of returning to the UEFA Champions League next season remain hanging by a thread \u2014 and not just because of what happens on the pitch.
