David Beckham admits he is hurt by Manchester United’s failure to qualify for the Champions League this season.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe is confident Manchester United will not demote from the Europa League and will be allowed to compete next season alongside Nice, the French club he also owns via his company Ineos.
Uefa regulations prevent https://ufabet999.app an organisation or person from wielding “decisive influence” over more than one club in the same competition. Ratcliffe has a 27.7% stake in United and controls the club’s football policy, and Ineos has owned Nice since 2019.
“It hurts a little bit not to see United there, but they’re trying,” Beckham
“We are too big not to be on this stage, so one day we will have to come back.”
Manchester United missed out on Champions League football after finishing eighth in the Premier League last season, despite winning the FA Cup.
Winning the FA Cup means Erik ten Hag’s team only gets a place in the Europa League.
Manchester United have won the Champions League three times, the second most in England after Liverpool.
United qualified for the Europa League by winning the FA Cup final against Manchester City. An Ineos statement said: “We are aware of the position of both clubs and are in direct dialogue with Uefa. We are confident that we have a route forward for next season in Europe.”
Manchester City and Girona, who each qualified for the Champions League, have to make a similar case to Uefa. This is because City Football Group owns 81% of the English champions and 44.3% of the Spanish club.
