Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Manchester United said they remain committed to playing in competitions run by Uefa after Thursday’s EU court verdict which said European soccer governing body and Fifa contravened EU law by preventing the formation of a Super League.<\/p>\n

<\/a>United were one of the 12 clubs involved in the formation of the breakaway Super League in April 2021 but pulled out due to pressure from fans, governments and players.\u201cOur position has not changed. We remain fully committed to participation in Uefa competitions, and to positive co-operation with Uefa, the Premier League, and fellow clubs through the ECA on the continued development of the European game,\u201d the club said.<\/p>\n

Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal were the other five Premier League clubs involved.<\/p>\n

Two months after the six English clubs pulled out of the project in 2021, they said they would offer a combined \u00a322m (R511m) as \u201ca gesture of goodwill\u201d to go towards the good of the game, including new investment to support fans, grassroots football and community programmes.The Premier League said they would face a 30-point deduction if they attempt a similar move in future and each would be fined \u00a325m pounds for any such breakaway attempt.<\/p>\n

Bayern Munich said they were committed to Uefa competitions, saying the door for the Super League \u201cremains closed\u201d for the German champions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Bundesliga is the foundation of FC Bayern, just as all national leagues are the foundation of other European football clubs,\u201d Bayern CEO Jan Christian Dreesen said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is therefore our duty and our deep conviction to strengthen them, not to weaken them. We are also committed to the European club competitions under the umbrella of Uefa.\u201d<\/p>\n

The German Football League (DFL), which is in charge of the Bundesliga, said it \u201cexplicitly supports the European sports model and rejects competitions outside those competitions organised by the federations and the leagues\u201d.<\/p>\n

France’s Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) said it \u201cunequivocally supports\u201d competitions organised by Uefa.<\/p>\n
