Now transfer expert Sacha Tavolieri is reporting that Ratcliffe's Ineos are ready to make a legal appeal against UEFA's ruling.
He states: "INEOS wants to make the transfer of Jean-Clair Todibo to Manchester United a success!
"The English company specialising in the chemical sector is challenging the regulations put in place and has hired Swiss lawyer Gianpaolo Monteneri to plead before the Court of Arbitration for Sport in favour of the arrival of the OGC Nice defender to MUFC... Wait & See."
