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

Sir Jim Ratcliffe's investment into 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 investment in the club.
