Manchester United 'could be KICKED OUT Europe next season if they record a lower league finish than Nice' after Sir Jim Ratcliffe's takeover

Sir Jim Ratcliffe's takeover at Manchester United could see the club kicked out of Europe next season, according to reports.

The British billionaire is waiting to formalise a £1.3billion deal with the Glazer family for a 25 per cent stake at the Premier League club.

Many United fans are hoping that Ratcliffe's imminent arrival will see a U-turn in the club's fortunes - especially considering the overhaul in the club's hierarchy that is expected.

However, one aspect that some United fans have overlooked is how their European prospects may take a dent following Ratcliffe's takeover at the club.
