Manchester United and Manchester City could soon face each other in the revamped Champions League group stages after UEFA confirmed a new format for the 2024/25 season onwards.
Both Manchester clubs will be involved in Europe's flagship competition next season, with United securing a third-place Premier League finish while City stormed to a third successive title. The pair will be joined by Arsenal and Newcastle, who finished second and fourth respectively.
Qualification for the 2024/25 edition could be a little easier for both, however, with UEFA considering handing the Premier League a fifth place - although that will be based on the upcoming season's performances compared to other nations. The reason for this change is due to the expansion of the tournament to 36 teams.
