Manchester United are linking up with Nice in more ways than one this season.

The clubs are now minority owned by the same INEOS group led by Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

The British billionaire has now set up a further link between the two teams this week.

United's Under-21s held a friendly behind-closed-doors on Monday against Nice's youth side.

Nice's Under-21s ran away with a 3-2 win, with several youth talents playing in the game.

The likes of Gabriele Biancheri and Bendito Mantato were involved, per The Mail.
