According to reports, UEFA have reached a final decision on Manchester United’s potential ban from the 2024-2025 Europa League competition.
Sports Buddy recently reported that Manchester United risked missing out on playing in the Europa League next season due to a newly updated UEFA ownership rule, despite earning a spot through their FA Cup triumph over Manchester City.
This updated version of UEFA’s integrity laws states that if two clubs from the same ownership group qualify for the same competition, only one would be permitted to enter.
United and Nice, who are also owned by Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s company Ineos, have both qualified for the competition next season.This is because UEFA rule on multi-club ownership
Normally, this would go to the side that placed better in their respective league; Nice came in fifth, while Manchester United came in eighth. United did, however, win the FA Cup, a competition that entitles champions to automatically enter the Europa League the following season—unless they make it to the Champions League.
Manchester United gets permission to feature in 2024-2025 Europa League

According to The Times, Manchester United has been granted permission by UEFA to participate in the same competition as Nice the following season, subject to a few requirements; however, this may be a one-off case.
According to the publication, Nice will be asked to be operated via a ‘blind trust’ by a panel approved by UEFA.
This season, AC Milan, Toulouse, and their American investor, Red Bird Capital worked together on a contract that employed this same approach.
Teams will also be informed that there “won’t be as much leeway” in subsequent years and that the 2024–25 season will be seen as a transitional one.
According to a document seen by the Times, blind trusts would be “temporary alternatives granted on an exceptional basis” for the upcoming season, and subsequent years may see modifications to the laws governing multi-club ownership.
