Man United Shocks Fans: Unwavering Commitment to UEFA Despite Super League Ruling.
Manchester United have become the first Premier League club to respond to recent developments regarding the European Super League.
On Thursday, the European Court of Justice sided with the ESL, announcing that FIFA and UEFA broke competition law by preventing the formation of the tournament.
That news was followed by A22 Sports Management, the company beyond the project, unveiling plans for a 64-team competition in a livestream.
United were initially one of six Premier League clubs part of the Super League before plans were shelved in 2021 as a result of fan backlash.
And the club were quick to distance any involvement this time around.
A statement posted on the official club website read: “Manchester United has issued the following statement in reaction to today’s judgement by the European Court of Justice on the European Super 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 club said.
