Manchester United and Manchester City are set to be impacted by six alterations to the laws of football next season.
The International Football Association Board (IFAB), which determines the game’s laws, has confirmed the changes. The most high-profile alteration sees the implementation of five substitutes made permanent.
The rule had initially been a temporary measure throughout the pandemic with IFAB later allowing competitions to adopt the option at their own discretion. However, Law 3 now sees the five-subs rule made a requirement.
