Manchester United will not take part in the EFL Trophy or the National League Cup next season, according to reports from BBC Sport and Yahoo Sports. The decision means the club will not compete in the competitions for that upcoming season, as they are scheduled to omit participation in both tournaments.
The reports are consistent in stating that Manchester United’s absence applies to both competitions, rather than only one. They do not provide additional detail on the reasons behind the decision or outline any alternative plans for United’s teams for the same period.
No further information is included in the sources provided here about which squad players would otherwise have been involved, whether the club will enter other domestic competitions instead, or any changes to the structure or eligibility of the tournaments for next season. The key point across both outlets is the club’s confirmed non-entry to the EFL Trophy and the National League Cup for the upcoming season.
