Despite a poor season, Man Utd's cup final win means they have qualified for the Europa League.

However, they may be axed from the competition due to Ratcliffe's stake in French side Nice.

They qualified for the Europa League by finishing fifth in Ligue 1.

And Uefa's ownership rules prevents clubs with the same "decisive influence" from playing in the same competition.

Ratcliffe has until June 3 to convince the governing body that his role at both Nice and United doesn't violate the rules.
