Manchester United could return to this season’s Champions League if the Swiss Football Association (FA) fails to comply with Fifa regulations, according to the BBC. Sion were thrown out of the Europa League for fielding ineligible players in their match against Celtic. The Swiss FA has until January 13 to act and Fifa has threatened to suspend Switzerland and their club sides. If the ban takes effect, FC Basel would be ejected from the Champions League and United could be reinstated.
