According to journalist Tavolelli, Manchester United has hired a Swiss lawyer to file a lawsuit to the Court of Arbitration for Sport concerning the transfer ban on Todibo. Because Ratcliffe simultaneously holds controlling interests in both Manchester United and Nice, UEFA, under the relevant regulations, stopped the transfer of Nice defender Todibo to Manchester United.
In an interview with Bloomberg, Ratcliffe said, “They say I can sell Todibo to other Premier League teams, but just not to Manchester United. It’s unfair to the player, I don’t see any benefit from it.”
Previously, UEFA allowed both Manchester United and Nice to participate in the Europa League this season, although current regulations prohibit any clubs with common ownership from participating in the same competition. UEFA has specifically authorized Nice to operate through a “private trust,” but this is only a temporary solution.
