Man Utd could be BANNED from signing Kylian Mbappe as Uefa issue bizarre transfer ruling

MANCHESTER UNITED could be banned from signing Kylian Mbappe due to a bizarre Uefa rule.

United are set to be taken over by Qatari Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani after he beat Sir Jim Ratcliffe in the bidding.

And the club will have to prove they are independent from Paris Saint-Germain’s Qatari ownership if they want to conduct transfer activity with the French giants.

That’s because Uefa have banned AC Milan and Toulouse from transfer dealings with one another for the upcoming season, report Get Football News France.

Uefa are concerned that the two clubs cannot act independently because they have the same owners – RedBird Capital Partners.

In response Toulouse have made changes at board level to prove to Uefa that RedBird Capital Partners have no say in the running of the club.

But Uefa are not totally convinced and have banned the clubs from selling or loaning players to each other, though both teams will be allowed to compete in Uefa competition next season.

If United and PSG fail to convince Uefa of their neutrality after Shekih Jassim takes control, they could suffer the same fate.

And that would rule out Mbappe joining the Red Devils.

The Frenchman sparked transfer speculation by reportedly informing PSG he will not extend his contract.

That sent some United fans wild with many dreaming of landing the superstar.

Mbappe is believed to have his heart set on a move to Real Madrid but United are interested and could be part of the bidding if PSG auction him off.
