Manchester United criticize Todibo’s unfair transfer decision

Sir Jim Ratcliffe has criticized UEFA’s decision to block Manchester United’s move to sign Jean-Clair Todibo from Nice.

Manchester United have been in negotiations over Todibo’s transfer for several months, but the deal was blocked due to UEFA’s multi-club ownership rules.

Ratcliffe’s company Ineos owns the French team and also has a minority stake in Manchester United (27.7%), with both clubs currently awaiting clearance from UEFA for both to compete in the Europa League this season. next.

Recent UEFA guidelines on multi-club ownership have warned shared ownership clubs against inter-club transfer deals, blocking Manchester United’s move for Todibo.

The guidelines, published last month, state that clubs “which are currently subject to multi-club ownership testing will not be able to transfer new players between them during the season they are in the same competition or during the first transfer window immediately after”. .

Ratcliffe has criticized the decision to block Manchester United’s move to sign Todibo, insisting the rules are “not fair” for the France international who will be denied a move to the Premier League.

“UEFA said we can sell him to another Premier League club, but we can’t sell him to Manchester United,” Ratcliffe told Bloomberg.

“But it’s not fair to the player, and I don’t see the point.”
