Man Utd Facing Ban From Champions League

Manchester United could be banned from next season’s Champions League due to Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s partial takeover of the club.

Ratcliffe’s long-running pursuit of a stake in United is on the verge of being rubberstamped, with the Ineos billionaire set to take a 25% portion of the club. Ratcliffe’s £1.3billion deal will throw up some issues due to his ownership of French side Nice, who are challenging Paris Saint-Germain for the Ligue 1 title.
