Under Mourinho, United finished second to City by 19 points in 2018, his final full campaign in charge at Old Trafford.

Premier League rules do not directly make reference to such a sanction, with a fine, points deduction or expulsion listed as possible punishments.

That theoretically could include retrospectively-applied points deductions, or the stripping of titles.

City were accused of a wide range of rule breaches, centred around claims that they inflated sponsorship revenue from connected companies and made other "off the books" payments to circumvent football's financial rules.

Could they be revoked and left blank? Or, as implied by Mourinho, reallocated to those teams who finished runners-up to City?
