Despite a European court finding that UEFA and FIFA violated EU law by obstructing the creation of the Super League, Manchester United declared on December 21 that they would continue to play in UEFA tournaments.

Man United was one of 12 clubs interested in the development of a new Super League in April 2021, but withdrew owing to pressure from fans, the government, and players.

“Our position has not changed,” the club stated. We remain totally committed to participating in UEFA tournaments and actively collaborating with UEFA, the Premier League, and clubs through the ECA to develop King’s sport in Europe.”

MU has announced their ambition to participate in UEFA events.

The Super League also comprises five Premier League clubs, in addition to MU: Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, and Arsenal.

Two months after six English clubs announced their withdrawal from the initiative in 2021, they committed a total of 22 million pounds ($27.78 million) as “a gesture of goodwill” to the sport, including new investments in fans, facilities, and community programming.

The Premier League further stated that any club that attempts a similar technique in the future will be penalized with 30 points and a £25 million fine.

In another development, the Bundesliga’s governing body, the German Football League (DFL), stated that it “clearly supports the European sporting model and rejects competitions outside the League and UEFA.” Following this, France’s Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) stated that they “fully support” UEFA competitions.
