Manchester United have received assurances from UEFA that they will be allowed to take part in the Europa League next season if Nice also qualify despite the European governing body’s restrictions on multi-club ownership.
UEFA released an updated version of their integrity laws last weekend which stated that in the event of two clubs from the same ownership group qualifying for the same competition only one will be permitted to enter, with the club who finishes lower in their domestic league dropping into the lesser competition, which in this case would be the Europa Conference League.
