Bright Prospects For Manchester United To Win £30,000 Prize

By W. CAPEL KIRBY

THE CHINA MAIL,

Manchester United, with bright prospects of cashing in to the extent of £30,000 by accepting the invitation to compete for the Europa Cup, are eagerly awaiting the result of the draw, due in Paris. My information is that the competition will consist of 16 clubs, but as there are 19 entrants, six will be drawn out of the hat and take part in a qualifying competition in three groups of two clubs.

There is no seeding so Manchester United and Rangers could clash before the competition proper. Real Madrid go into the draw as holders even though they are not champions of Spain.
