December 21st 2023.
Manchester United have officially declared that they are standing firm in their commitment to UEFA and the Premier League following the judgement of the European Super League.
The Grand Chamber of the European Court of Justice was asked to decide whether UEFA and FIFA were violating competition laws by blocking the formation of the European Super League in 2021, and then seeking to sanction the clubs involved. The court ultimately ruled that the UEFA and FIFA rules were illegal and in violation of EU law.
United were one of the many heavyweight European clubs who had threatened to join the rebel competition three years ago, but the proposal was quickly abandoned after it sparked a fierce backlash from supporters.
Today, the club released a statement that their stance has not changed and they are determined to remain loyal to UEFA and the Premier League.
They said: "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."
It is clear that Manchester United are not looking to capitalise on the European Court of Justice's ruling, and want to ensure they remain a part of the European footballing community. More to follow...
