Why UEFA Could Stop Manchester United’s Bid to Sign Kylian Mbappe From PSG

• A UEFA ruling could stop Manchester United from making a bid for Kylian Mbappe
• Mbappe has been a subject of interest from several clubs including the Red Devils
• The Frenchman is entering the final year of his contract with Paris Saint-Germain

Manchester United’s outside chance of signing Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe this summer could be extinguished by European football governing body UEFA.

Paris Saint-Germain has threatened to sell the 24-year-old superstar this summer if he refuses to sign a contract extension with Man United, Real Madrid, Arsenal, and Liverpool all credited with an interest in the forward.

According to The Peoples Person, a “bizarre” UEFA ruling could stop the Red Devils from pursuing a deal for Mbappe if Sheikh Jassim’s bid to buy the Premier League club is successful.

If the bid from Qatar fails to differentiate itself as an entity from PSG’s owners, UEFA will veto any deal between the two clubs, thereby preventing Man United from making a bid for Mbappe.

Mbappe has informed PSG that he is not interested in extending his deal with the Ligue 1 champions, forcing the club to listen to offers for him this summer.
