'I'm happy clubs have admitted their mistake' - Manchester United manager Solskjaer slams Super League proposals

The coach had his say on the plans to revolutionise European football with a breakaway league, which collapsed quickly amid vehement protests

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has said he did not like the concept of the Super League because sporting merit would be taken away.

United announced they were withdrawing from the league just 48 hours after it had been revealed they were one of the 12 founding members.

It was a concept driven by the owners of the 12 clubs - players and managers were not consulted before the proposals were revealed to the world on Sunday evening.
