Man Utd: Ratcliffe ‘hires lawyer’ to ‘contest regulations’ as INEOS look to ‘complete’ first signing
Manchester United owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has reportedly hired a lawyer to help secure the signing of Jean-Clair Todibo from OGC Nice.
UEFA rules have blocked pursuit of Nice defender Todibo as the club s owners, INEOS, also own the French outfit.
Ratcliffe has already been handed a favour from the governing body by allowing both clubs to compete in the Europa League next season.
However, the transfer between two clubs under the same ownership has strictly been blocked.
Ratcliffe recently discussed the rule, saying that it is not fair on the player , who must be open to moving to Old Trafford.
