FIFA announce new transfer window changes that impact Manchester United and Manchester City

FIFA have changed their rules regarding transfer window and it will allow the Football Association to open the summer transfer window before the 2019/20 season finishes. The Premier League is set to return on June 17. With England's top two domestic leagues not set to finish their seasons until late July or early August, the start and end dates of the transfer window are uncertain. However, FIFA announced two important regulations changes on Thursday afternoon. The first of which will allow players to now play for three different clubs within the same season. The second will allow any club that operates their season in a dual year, which includes all of England's leagues, to open the transfer window before the end of the current season. A statement from FIFA said: "The new temporary regulatory amendments approved by the Bureau of the Council are as follows: In order to avoid any concerns regarding unemployed players, players are permitted to be registered with a maximum of three clubs and are eligible to play in official matches for three clubs during the same season. "In order to give priority to clubs to complete their (2019/20) season with their original squad, provide flexibility, and allow MAs to properly plan their football calendar, those associations following a dual-year calendar are permitted to commence the “ first registration period ” for the 2020/21 season prior to the completion of the 2019/20 season, subject to certain conditions."
