UEFA will reportedly allow Manchester United to play in the Europa League next season despite the European governing body's restrictions on multi-club ownership. United and Nice, who are also owned by Sir Jim Ratcliffe's company Ineos, have both qualified for the competition next season. As Mail Sport reported in March, an updated version of UEFA's integrity laws stated that in the event of two clubs from the same ownership group qualifying for the same competition, only one would be permitted to enter. This normally would be given to the team who finished higher in their respective league, with Nice placing 5th and Manchester United 8th.
