Manchester United has stated that their position about the European Super League project remains unchanged after the European court announced its verdict earlier today.
The Red Devils were among the 12 clubs in the initial project back in April 2021, but they stepped down once it was taken down. Now, that FIFA and UEFA’s rights have been limited, United still pledge allegiance with them and the Premier League.
The team issued a statement on Thursday afternoon stating the club’s support for the existing system overseen by UEFA, European Club Association (ECA) and the Premier League.
“Our position has not changed. We remain fully committed to participation in UEFA competitions, and to positive cooperation with UEFA, the Premier League, and fellow clubs through the ECA on the continued development of the European game.” the statement read.
After United several other teams joined up to condemn the project, on of which is Bayern Munich. The Bavarians chief executive labelled the project ‘an attack on football’.
