Manchester United and Man City will not face Russian teams next season after UEFA ban

Manchester United and Man City will not face any Russian football clubs in European competitions next season.

UEFA has announced that teams which are affiliated to Russia will not be allowed in any men's or women's club competitions during the 2022/23 season. This means the likes of CSKA Moscow and Zenit St Petersburg will not be in the Champions League, Europa League or Europa Conference League.

Furthermore, their youth teams have also been sanctioned meaning City and United's U23s will not face any Russian counterparts in the UEFA Youth League either. The decision has been made due to Russia's ongoing war with Ukraine.
