Manchester United could return to this season's Champions League if the Swiss Football Association fails to comply with Fifa and punish FC Sion.

Sion were thrown out of the Europa League for fielding ineligible players in their match against Celtic.

The Swiss FA has until 13 January to act and Fifa has threatened to suspend Switzerland and their club sides.

If the ban took effect, FC Basel would be ejected from the Champions League and United could be reinstated.

Very typical for something like this to happen to the Mancs if you ask me

Won't happen, you cannot punish another club for a different ones mistakes.

UEFA just trying to force the Swiss FA's arm to punish FC Sion. The threat of losing CL football for Swiss teams should be enough for that to work. Hopefully they'll punish Sion (as they should), and Basel won't be kicked out.

Wouldn't be right for Basel to be kicked out because of the actions of another club - and would be even worse for it to happen to be of benefit for the scum!

Silly Willy offering 16/1 that they will be reinstated. But if Basle were kicked out why should a side that only got one point from them go through in their place? Realistically the team to go through would have to be the best 3rd placed team from all the groups........which was Citeh.

Wrong that Basle be punished at all but I would imagine UEFA taking action against Swiss FA in terms of barring any teams from their association taking part in their competitions after this season. Perhaps they will have to have a word with Uncle Sepp.
