Manchester United Chief Ed Woodward Leaves UEFA Role Amidst Super League Involvement

Manchester United have resigned from the English Club Association allegedly since it`s among the big six Premier League teams that have joined the European Super League. 

A similar move has been played by Manchester United Chief Ed Woodward who has stepped down from his role with UEFA. Woodward was appointed onto UEFA`s Professional Football Strategy Council as an English Club Association representative in September 2017.

Manchester United has also confirmed that Joel Glazer will be one of the vice-chairmen of the European Super League and has supported plans for a Super League as 12 clubs declare their intentions to commence it. Glazer in a statement stated that bringing together the world`s greatest clubs and players to play each other throughout the season would bring a new chapter for European football ensuring world-class competition. A source has confirmed to the Manchester Evening News that fans were not consulted on Man U`s involvement in the Super League.

Sir Alex Ferguson rushed to condemn the European Super League plans before they were confirmed in a press release o Sunday night and Manchester United Supporters Trust decried the club`s Super League Involvement.

The European Super League is set to be a midweek competition and the 12 clubs involved intend to commence it as soon as possible.
