Ratcliffe owns French Ligue 1 club OGC Nice and after winning the race to buy a minority stake of Manchester United he’s likely to become the new co-owner.

 

Under UEFA’s “multi-club ownership” rules, the only way Manchester United and OGC Nice can both play in Europe in the next campaign is if one seals an automatic Champions League spot and the other qualifies directly for the Conference League.
